What is your question?
When I drive at freeway speeds in the wind I sometimes hear a whine that seems to come from the driver-side windshield edge. It seems to occur when the wind impacts my car at specific angles. It sounds like someone is blowing over the top of a pop bottle. Is this an aerodynamic design flaw?

There is a technical service bulletin (TSB) for a wind noise from the windshield. You should take this to a shop that has the TSB and have them perform the update to the door moldings. If your mechanically inclined, you can probably do this repair, but you'll need to get the TSB, you can get that here: http://bit.ly/alldata_repair_manuals TSB Info: #09-08-58-002: Hoot/Whistle/Moan Wind Noise from Windshield/Door Area (Apply Tape to Both Front Upper Frames, Secure Weatherstrip) - (May 19, 2009)
Had the same problem on our '07 Aveo5; out of warranty, didn't want to pay GM arm and leg to look at it. I dropped by my local O'Reilly (Auto Parts), and grabbed a $10 roll of universal weatherstrip (not the crummy gray foam stuff, but the black rubber tubing type). Applied to the inside of the door jamb at top, and the noise is all gone. Notice the factory stripping goes all the way round the door frame; my addition is just along the top: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Zx6FSHyMKcqaJO0q46YBLw?feat=directlink YMMV, but this worked like a charm for me. There are a couple of inches of space without weatherstripping from the factory, and it seems like wind whips over that cavity to create this noise. Could be something else, but this fixed our ungodly howling. Good luck, Chris
