I'm experiencing an issue and not sure how to pin-point and troubleshoot it. When driving at highway speed on windy days, there is a noise coming from the rear windshield area (passenger side bottom corner?) that sounds a bit like when you blow through a blade of grass held between your thumbs, but much louder and stronger. It is not steady, and seems to correspond with the gush of wind. I asked my VW dealer about it, and they said it is not covered under warranty since my car as roughly 95k on the odometer (it's only a 2013). They recommended I contact an auto glass specialist to replace the rear windshield, but I'm not even sure that's where the noise is coming from. It does not seem weather dependent, as it started back in the summer months and continues to this day. Sometimes, I think the rear windshield (if that's actually the source of the noise) is going to be ripped out of the car!
Has anyone else noticed this in their Passat?
