Ok, I had the windshield molding replaced a couple of weeks ago but it
didn't solve the noise problem. It's starting to drive me crazy. I love
everything about this car except for the fact that every time I get it up to
90 mph I have this very loud howling noise that sounds like it's coming from
the drivers side windshield column. Anyone have any other ideas on how to
get rid of this noise?

**Go slower. Actually, get in the car with the mechanic and go. Have
him pinpoint it then fix it. This is all covered by the warranty.
Also, I find that playing my stereo really loud helps get rid of
annoying sounds. :)

If the condition still persists, check the A-pillar trim along the
windshield and/or cowl area where the fender, hood and A-pillar meet for
possible wind noise.

I've got the same problem with my GT.

What's the part number of this molding?
 
How do these ride at 90?

Our GT is only a few weeks old... don't want to bring it up to 90 yet.
 
She rides smoothly, all the way up to 105 (that's mph, not kph), except for
that damn windshield howl. If I could get rid of that then I could tolerate
cruising at triple digits and finding out what this car is capable of.....
 
Yeah, I only get around 27 mpg, but I'm ok with that. I traded in a SUV
that only got 16 mpg to get the Elantra so 27MPG is a huge improvement.

I've run my 2003 Elantra GLS at 90mph for short stretches on the freeway and
it felt fine. Fortunately, I don't have a wind noise problem. The gas
mileage starts to suffer when I drive steadily above 65mph, but that's to be
expected I guess.
