May well be!
PO had a bra on the front end from the time that it came off the dealer's
lot, and was on until right before the adjuster came a couple of months ago.
As can be expected, that upper metal claw did a number on the rubber that it
rubbed against. It was that way before the accident, but given the front-end
impact it's definitely possible that the outside air could now have more of
an impact than before - especially now that the bra is a thing of the past.

On the other hand, after I sent the initial post I was driving around
(listening to the blustery wind inside the van) and I pushed up against the
windshield and the rubber seal at the top on the driver's side - and the
sound of the airflow changed.

Bottom line is that when I go back in the next week or so, I'm going to have
this attended to.
There was NO sound due to air leaks prior to the accident, and it's not
something that I'm too intent to 'get used to'.

* don't follow you exactly on the speedo thing. Sounds like the 'glass' is
scratched ............ seems like replacement would be the repair. *

Speedo thing . . .
Immediately to the right of the steering wheel is the speedometer and fuel
gauge/indicator.
There's a piece of clear plastic in front of it that slants forward from
bottom to top.
It's cracked and it bugs me.
I want to fix it, but I've not heard of any way to fix it that doesn't
require completely replacing the odo/tach/speedo/fuel instrument cluster.
It would seem at first glance that it's a simple "pop the old piece of
plastic out and pop a new one in" - but everything I've seen indicates that
this is not possible.

Tires - replacing them IMMEDIATELY!

Yeah, I do think that there was an element of "slam dunk" repair work going
on.
Nothing that can't be remedied relatively easily - just wish the shop was
closer to home!
