yeah...its happened in a couple of my cars. but i dont think it would be from the windshield, more likely from the top of the door. the rubber might not be sealing properly...and on really windy days you can hear it more...if you cant get it fixed yourself, try your dealer. but so it seems, most guys dealers arent worth much. good luck.

my driver side door has a wind sound at high speeds. I don't think the dealer will be able to fix it for you as it's just the sound of wind blowing across the panels.

I don't have a sunroof and I also get the windnoise above around 75-85mph. It sounds like its coming from the top part of either the door or the window sill. But yeah, exact same issue.

maybe your door rubber tubing on the door isn't on properly or is falling off due to defective part....make sure everything is fitted in! good luck finding the problem

P.S.- your car would look sick with JDM Clear corners, maybe look into investing in a pair!

have you ever tried opening the sunroof a bit then closing it when you are hearing the wind noise? my sunroof has just started rattling when in the open position; so I wonder if they don't "seat" properly and mebbe that is where your noise is coming from.

You should try closeing your vents in the car?
When I drive at high speeds I can hear the air from the vents coming in.

If theres a cross wind at just the right angle, i can hear wind noise coming from my drivers side mirror. anyone else get this? Its not that big of a deal since it rarely happens.
