Recently, at highway speeds, an air leak around the windshield of my 2012 FJ Cruiser creates a deafening howl/roar, and one can feel powerful vibrations at the top of the windshield frame. Depending on whether one is driving into a powerful head wind (at 55 MPH), or has a strong tail wind (at 70 MPH), it happens slightly below or above 60 MPH, and the air turbulence from a passing tractor-trailer rig/18-wheeler can temporarily cause the noise. (The thought has even occurred to me that under certain conditions, the windshield might even come loose -- although that seems unlikely.) I suppose that I will take it to either the local Toyota dealer, or a windshield shop for their review, but I was just wondering whether other FJ Cruiser owners have experienced this phenomenon. (By the way, I haven't noticed any accompanying water leak around the windshield.)
 
Is the top trim piece secured fast? It's held with plastic clips that snap into the metal frame. Did you have the windshield replaced recently?
