Finally figured it out. It was actually coming from the top. It was the third brake light strip between roof and top of rear window.. it had raised ever so slightly and was causing a LOUD whistling at 65 mph and above depending on cross wind direction. It may have raised from going thru so many car washes with the powerful drying blowers possibly lifting it up over time. The whole brake light strip had to be replaced. $550. Was worth it to get silence again at high speeds!

Yes. Why the? marks. Do you not think it is possible for a powerful air dryer over hundreds of times to raise that strip a fraction of an inch? Regardless of what caused it to raise it was raised a bit and that was the problem.

I was trying to be funny. I was saying , We're not supposed to run our precious cars through the car wash. I guess that didn't go over so well. Sorry Man.
