Wind noise was bad windshield seal!

[blgN8]

We had very noticeable noise from front driver-side corner of windshield. Tesla added some sealant which helped noise, but still there. Tissue test showed was seal issue.

Tesla replaced windshield! Mystery solved.

What a great way to test the seal...

Yes, great test! If you hadn't seen another thread I had started a few months ago, I had a simliar wind noise problem, but didn't think of trying your test to figure out where it was coming from. Nonetheless, I had another defect in my windshield and a mis-mounted roof glass which my SC addressed by replacing both items. Bottom line, not only does it look much better, but the wind noise went away, so I may have had the same seal issue you had at the bottom of the glass.

I think I issue on my new MPY built Aug 12th 2022. What if I don’t have an air compressor, can I use a can of compressed air used to clean computer key boards etc?

I have a 22 and I hear the sound as if the window is open but it on the passenger side towards the back of the car. I do not hear it on the drivers side only the passenger side.

Did you ever resolve this issue?
This is the kind of problems I have on my Model 3 and I've been doing a lot of work to fix it.

I do not have the issue anymore. I do not know what fixed it but it is no longer present.
