With my top down at speed above about 35MPH, my G37 makes a loud whistling sound. I believe it is coming from the front of the car but it is difficult to tell. There are no loose moldings or any foreign objects that I can find. It is loud and very annoying. Has anyone else had this problem and had it cured? It has been my experience with another car that an improperly sealed windshield may cause this problem. My dealer is 70 miles away and I would like to be armed with some info when I take it in for service the next time.

Also, there is a rattle in the rear of the car which seems like the top hatch cover (the part that covers the folded roof directly behind the rear seats) is the culprit. Anyone else have this problem?

Seems to me that a $50K car should not whistle or rattle.

Do you hear this whistling sound after you let off the gas and notice an immediate loss in pressure? Does it chirp? If so could be turbo

Yes, I am still on warranty. They want to charge me to get the TSBs from their web site.
