Default Wind noise

Hello

I was just wandering how to reduce wind noise when driving at highway speeds at about 55 mph ?
Do i have to change the rubber arounf the door or it is normal and just have to get along with it?

Thanks !!!!

The front wind shield moldings crack due to the high temperature here.

Check the front wind shield moldings, they crack and let air in on high way and noise starts. I changed mine and all the noises are gone.

It's the rubber windshield trim. If your car is still under factory warranty, the Lexus dealership will replace it at no charge. Mine is staring to crack and they told me they are more than willing to replace it under warranty. I'm not sure how much it will cost if you had to pay for it.

thank you faisal but a picture will help alot. I thought the rubber around the door needs to be changed to help cancel the noise.

hoping for a silent ride)))))

I get some wind noise coming from the front when going about 70mph. I don't recall my molding being cracked or anything but I will check it out! I don't really notice the wind noise anyways since I always have my music turned up lol
