Yes my windshield is replaced as I mentioned previously. I once taped the whole area around and drove off and the noise didnt change. Could it be due to the fact that the 98+ mystique hoods are curved up and that air in the engine bay ends going under the hood curve in the center and hits the windshield? honestly I don't buy my own explanation but will try to block that gap and see if anything gets better. prior to 98 mystique hoods were almost flush with the wiper cowls. I read in a review once that in 98 the hood was raised to give the car a more luxurious look. I also checked my wiper cowls and taht for gaps, loose screws but everything looked normal. !!
