rear window GAP lets too much stuff in, noise
So, I finally found the noise that I was getting on highway speeds. It sounded like something handing out of the trunk, but it was some small debris in the rear window, there is NOT a seal around it between the window and body, but a GAP. and this GAP gets filled with small tree stuff, then cannot get out, and the wind flowing around it makes it fly around INSIDE of the gap.
Why would they do this. What could that outer seal actually cost?

Speaking of "under trees" I had a really nice "paint bubble" on the top of the trunk. Looked like the paint had lifted and cracked into a thousand pieces. I nudged it and it moved! Turns out it was pine sap. Yeah, don't park under trees!
At least my 2008 has a rear window sunshade!
