Thanks, Bob

Status: offline 		I have an '07 NBS ext cab and the noise problem was fixed by the dealer. They said the noise was made by the airflow over the gaskets and was an easy fix. They took the side windshield gaskets off and re-installed them and added a double-sided tape (can't remember if it was 3M or not)   Anyway . . . . not a bit noise since.

Hey, did your noise sound like a faint whistle?  I have one that starts at 60 MPH.  I have an 07 NBS, and the noise is driving me crazy.
