996 GT3 Wind noise

I recently purchase a very low mileage 996 GT3 and notice at 60mph or higher that I get excessive windnoise from windshield area. The sealing (trim) looks correct. My 2000 996 did not have this noise. Someone I spoke to mentioned there may have been a Service Bulletin regarding this.
Does anyone have had this experience? Have not taken it to dealer yet.

windscreen may have been replaced improperly...oem is usually pretty good...been in quite a few 996 GT3's and no wind noise from windscreen even at very high speed

I never got that with my old 996 gt3...and it hit 174 a good couple of times at pocono raceway...obv though the windows were open so there was a lot of wind overall...just nothing I could notice there.

I ended up calling a local dealer and asked about any TSBs on this. In fact there had been one issued. Seems some 996s had this issue and they have some kind of sealing fix. As you all stated, I had no issues with my 2000 996 up to 130.
thanks for the inputs...

I don't recall any odd wind noise from the 996 gt3 but it's been a well over a decade.
