Mine gives a slight whistle, but it is hardly noticeable.  (Seal from Bus
Depot installed about 15 months ago).  I figured it was normal, since there
is a lot of wind drag up there.

What DOES drive me crazy is a buzzing in my dash board on the passenger
side.  It will go away temporarily if I turn on the windshield wipers, but
then comes right back after about 15 seconds.  Some days it drives me
CRAZY!!!!.  I am about ready to rip out the entire dash in an effort to stop
this dreaded buzzing!!

Anyone have any ideas?  I have tried pressing on the dash while driving,
tightening screws, etc.  It is coming from the area where the dash meets the
wind screen just above the glove box.
