Default One small problem w/my 2000 2.7T - air leak at base of windshield with sunroof/window open - help?..

When I open the sunroof or a window on my 2000 2.7T, there is a distinct air leak/whistle emanating from the base of the windshield directly in front of the instrument binnacle. The dealer, of course, was "unable to verify" the problem, though the service advisor admitted hearing the noise on a test drive. Anyone have any ideas how to troubleshoot this? Has anyone else had this problem? TIA for any ideas.

Hi, could you find the reason for this problem?

I have the exact same issue in my 2014 Jeep Compass

Infact, I think I have found the location where noise comes.
My wife i a doctor and I have used her stethoscope(the thing for listening heart beats) to find the leak point.

Į will take my car to service to seal that location, they will probably caulk between glass and body.
