Toyota Tacoma 2005 windshield had problems with buzzing noise, Toyota replace it a couple times due to improper installation of windshield sublet. Buzzing noise is minimal and rarely happens but now sealant was not secure and during rain cause water damage to underside of carpet. My concern is mold from the water damage.

When I'm on the highway and I'll go 70 mph on my 2005 Toyota Tacoma xrunner, I'll get this noise like a whistle, it gets worse as I go faster.

My wife took our 05 Tacoma in to have a windshield replaced that should be covered under warranty. They looked at the cracks and said it was caused by a rock from the outside, I might have agreed had my wife not watched my youngest son press his thumb against the inside of the windshield causing the glass to crack. After looking up problems with Toyota's I came across several sites stating that in 03,04 and 05 Toyota made the windshields thinner and in turn made them more brittle.

Excessive wind noise above 65mph. A constant loud noise from a faulty seal somewhere in windshield area or driver-side door area when travelling at 65 mph or above. Worse if driving directly into wind.
