Default Air noise around windshield

There seems to be a lot of noise around the windshield, more so when it's windy outside. Is this normal? Is there a fix? Even my wife noticed it. 2004 S60

Sounds like the seal is broken. There is no noise around my windshield. Try holding a kleenex against it at various locations and see if you can see where wind is coming in. Otherwise you would have to reseal the entire windshield, which you may end up doing anyway.

Thanks. That was my first thought, since I was a window installer for a while as one of my many jobs in the past. But should I really hold that kleenex up there while I'm driving??? So you're saying that the S60 SHOULD be quiet. Maybe someone can give me a good inexpensive fix. Thanks again.

Do you smoke?
If so hold your cigg up in that area when driving and follow the smoke.

Have somebody else hold the Kleenex or if you don't smoke then someone could hold up an incense stick. Then you would know where the leak is coming from and your car would smell like sandalwood, or lavendar, or whatever.
