I?m hearing a whistle noise or it could be a radial noise (not a 100% sure) when driving on the highway once I pass 100 km. When I told the dealer they could not hear it but it is there all the time, it is heard best at 120 km. The noise is not really loud but can be heard even if the radio is on.

Did anyone on this forum have a similar problem? If yes, what was it?

My original warranty ends this month and I want to resolve this problem before the original warranty is over, in case it is a major issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What do you mean? I have about 70% left on them, Dunlop RFT. Could it be the tires?

Thanks, you guys are the best. I called my dealer this morning and asked if they heared about this problem with the windshield and the answer was no. I am scheduled later on this week to go for a road test with the service manager regarding this problem. I will keep you posted.
