Wind noise from sunroof at 60mph+
I started hearing an annoying wind noise from the sunroof of my 2010 sedan while it is closed in the last two days. It sounds like a whistle and starts at about 60 mph and gets worse as the speed increases. I tried to clean the edges of the glass panel and the surrounding roof area with no success.
Did anyone experience the same wind noise from the sunroof? Has anyone found a solution? I had a 2008 G35 sedan and had no issues for almost 35K miles. This car has only 3k on it

The day I bought the 2010 sedan and drove the 50 miles home from the dealership, I could hear a slight wind noise.
It seemed to come from the direction of the driver's side rear door window. I was thinking I would have to bring the car back in a few days and get it fixed.
When I got home I opened all the windows with the smart key and closed them. Since then I have put 6,300 miles of mostly high speed highway driving, averaging around 80mph. There has been no wind noise at all.
I guess one of the windows wasn't completely closed the day I drove it home from the dealer.

I isolated my wind noise to the fixed portion of the right rear window. A replacement seal has been ordered by the dealer and will be installed later this week. If the new seal does not fix the problem completely, RTV will.
My suggestion, get a roll of duct tape and start placing strips overlapping the roof and glass one side at a time until you isolate the problem. By the way, my sunroof is quiet, even at 70 mph against the wind with the sunshade open. Should be fixable.

Check the seatbelt on the passenger side. They have a tendency to not retract correctly and end up rattling against the door.
i have the same whistle-like noise coming from the sunroof. Hate it and the service could not fix it. The only way is to turn up the volume when alone. But when there are other people in the car, I keep hearing that damn noise.

My 2010 G37x had exactly the same problem (starts at 60mph). Dealer initially suspected the roof but ended up replacing the weather strip in the rear passenger door and claimed it fixed but it's not. At this point, I am not sure if it will be worth to bring it back to the dealer. Would appreciate if anyone has fix for this. It's really annoying.
