WIND NOISE FROM WINDSHIELD MOLDING
DESCRIPTION
Some Santa Fe vehicles may develop wind noise from the windshield molding when driven at high speeds on hot days, which sounds like a loud "hum"
originating from the windshield area (one or both sides).
The noise is caused by pressurized air in a windshield molding channel. When the pressure is strong enough, the air leaks out, causing the molding to
vibrate. This condition is more likely to occur when the molding is hot and pliable, typically when the air temperatures exceed 100 degrees F.
This condition will typically occur on hot days, and almost never during driving in the morning.
