Telluride whistling

[Catherine Dean]

Have a 2021 telluride SX model. The front sunroof whistle’s at high speeds. The closest Kia dealership is 2 1/2 hours away. Has anyone had the same problem and is there an easy solution? Thanks for everyone’s help!

1 - try to spill the hatch abundantly at the car wash and see if there are leaks. 2 - buy silicone sealant grease. liberally lubricate the sealant, let it stand for an hour. Wipe off the excess and try how it will be. if it does not help or there is a leak, then you need to replace the glass. it comes with a seal.

If the cross bars are put on backwards (yes, there is a direction) noises have been reported.

Wind Noise on SXP with Factory Cross bars & Sport Visors - Noise on passenger side coming from the side mirror area

This is the sound from them.
Often in winter I notice, not only on telluride, if there is a short crumbling of snow or ice around the sunroof, such sounds occur.
