Ed,

I checked this and everything seems sealed tight. Any other

 Is it always above a certain MPH?

Could it be your rack on top of the car?

 Yes I remember my rack causing a high pitched noise until I moved the
front bar behind the B pillar. They also must be facing the correct

 Yes. These are airfoils. In fact, I've heard that if you go fast enough,
your car actually loses weight because of the lift produced. :-)­
