This car is a pleasure to drive on the highway except for the excessive wind noise. I assume the noise is caused by the older style windows and rain gutter along the roof line. Is there any type of deflector that helps without ruining the appearance of the car?

Are you sure it isn't the sunroof making the wind noise?

Good Point. I know that the plastic track for the sunroof needs to be replaced because a piece of it fell out when I was test driving the car. I have the sunroof closed to the point of minimum noise. Would temporarily placing masking tape over the sunroof edges help me determine if the sunroof is at fault? Reports I read on the car before I bought it indicated high wind noise with this model.

Put masking tape all the way around the sunroof.At all seams around the glass.
Then test drive and see if it is better.
