What Could Cause Wind Noise After a Windshield Replacement?

Hearing wind noise or whistling after getting the windshield replaced can mean something isn’t right. Chances are the auto glass technician installed something incorrectly that caused an air pocket or gap where the glass and the car’s frame join.

Trust me; this whistle sound can drive a person crazy! Several factors could cause these sounds, which I’ve listed below to help you determine what could be causing the wind noise.

What should you do if you notice wind noise after windshield replacement?

As mentioned, if the technician improperly completes the installation job, you may hear wind noise. It’s worth contacting a reputable glass company to assess your concerns. Auto Glass Locator can help you do that nationwide.
