We recently purchased a 2006 Toyota Corolla and when driving on an open highway there is a whistling noise on the front side of the car on the drivers side. Have had into the service dept and they changed the seal around the exterior mirror but did not help. Please advise.

Has your dealer heard the noise or are they guessing from your description? We have had the top windsheild mouldings buzz at hi speeds,especially in cross winds, on these.

Replying to: jjame00 (Dec 28, 2006 6:41 pm) I just bought an '06 Corolla in January, and notice this on especially windy days. It's always when I'm on the highway (65mph+). I think if you turn the fan on (whether vent, a/c, whatever) it minimizes it slightly. But a "real" solution would be great. I just dread having to take it in and try to describe what it sounds like, and them not be able to reproduce it, and have it just drag on and on like that.... I bought a bumper to bumper extended warranty, so I'm not concerned about that - I just discovered the seat belt in the back seat doesn't latch, so will need to take it in soon anyway. Any info you can provide would be appreciated!

Others have had their windshields removed and resealed, and the problem went away: http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/t129814.html http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/t108574.html I took mine in last week and they spent a few hours trying to reproduce it, but of course it wasn't a windy day, and they weren't able to. Just as I'd anticipated.

Replying to: dadof6 (Dec 31, 2006 8:56 am) Never had any such issue with my 04' Camry, 07 ES350 or 06' Sienna. I guess Toyota provides little quality control over an economy car. |

Replying to: dfwdraco76 (Mar 25, 2007 8:35 pm) Glue/sealing the moulding to the windsheild will cure it. It takes a good body shop all of about 5 minutes to perform this repair. The windsheild does not need to come out do this.
