Hey guys,
I have this new wind whistling sound when I am driving on the highway. It's probably wind-speed and driving-speed related, but I have had it on speeds as low as 45mph with no wind. I think it might have started after I got a new hood (
a lady on the wrong side crashed into my car few months ago).
I also noticed that there is more spacing between the hood cover front-edge - just a few millimeters more than previously. Can this be an issue? There is my neighbor's BMW in the 2nd picture for reference.
Any suggestions on how to lower that hood to tightly fit??
There are some threads about possibility of windshield or moonroof rubber wearing off, but this is a recent car, it's not that old.

when you open the hood there is too u shaped prongs on the underside of the hood. unscrew it and twist 2 times each then close hood. test it out. if not do it again. and if not... then again.

If you need to replace the rubber on the top of the windshield, let me know.....I have a spare laying around. I just replaced the entire windshield and the guy already brought the rubber with him and it's been 30 days so can't return.
