If you have a sunroof, that may be the source. When you go through a speed bump or a pot hole really fast, it causes it to pop up just a little bit. It happened to me with my 1996 SLE.
The solution would be to open and reclose the sunroof.

My sunroof doesn't make noise at all, it'* the damn doors and windshield that'* the problem. Windshields not a big deal, because I got full glass coverage.....So someday when I feel like it I'll get it replaced. But the doors......My drivers door is bent at the top, and I think the rest of the other seals are just worn out maybe?

From experience, tho, don't ask you 18 year old son (with included attitude) or 5'2" wife do this. The results are pretty much useless....
Hey, she'* 5'3".

It'* not the sunroof.

Sunroofs have more water leaking problems than wind noise I believe.

That is too freakin' funny!!!! With a comment like that I can see why the alert stays on red all the time.

I don't have much wind noise on my 91 at all.
