Some Prius owners report issues with wind noise o r water leaks, often due to:

Worn-Out Rubber Gaskets: The seals on the windshield and windows can degrade over time.
Improper Fitment: Sometimes, seals don’t fit properly from the factory, leading to leaks and noise.

Solutions:

Seal Replacement: If the seals are worn out o r damaged, consider replacing them with new rubber gaskets.
Weatherproofing Spray: Use weatherproofing sprays on seals to extend their lifespan and prevent water leaks.
Proper Care: Regularly inspect seals for cracks o r wear and replace as necessary.
