    I'm a new member but my 00 keeps making a whisking sound when I get it up to about 70 mph. It sounds like it's coming from where the wippers are. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?

    Or remove/tape over one bit at a time until the noise changes/ends and maybe find the culprit?

    ^^^This is actually a good suggestion.

    I had an '08 DC that made a whine when you'd get to a certain speed and the wind was just right. Apparently it was some kind of issue with the weather stripping on the window. I bet that's similar issue here.

    That sounds like that could be it I'll look into the stripping. I'll use the tape suggestion too!

    No no light bars. I think the weather stripping is the culprit

    My '13 made a whistling noise once I got up to 75mph+ in warm weather. I second the recommendation to take a look at your weather proofing strip around the windshield by taping off sections and hopping on the freeway.
