Folks, I have a near constant wind whistle coming from the steering column or near to that dash area that the dealer cannot diagnose. Starts at 60mph. Is worse in windy conditions. It totally ruins my enjoyment of the car. Video for your help is apparently not attachable on here but glad to PM it to anyone who may have a clue.

Probably will sound dumb but check the drain plug on driver and pass side. I had this issue back when I bought my rig and found the driver side was not properly seated which caused a whistle.

@ExRIGuy

If you have an automatic, DO check the plug on the firewall where, if you had a clutch that the clutch pedal would come through. Occasionally, that black, plastic circular cover will fall out or not be placed correctly. This will cause air flow, noise in the area you mention.

This was an improperly installed windshield from the factory and is apparently a common problem...

Glad you got it resolved.

I had a JK with a whistling windshield after the original glass was replaced. The glass shop removed the glass, reseated and resealed the windshield and the noise was gone.
