2019 thor hurricane front wind noise????

need some help here folks please..... I've exhausted myself with trying to stop the noise...every time I think I got it … turns out not...I fixed the sliding side window noise, now it' closes proper, and no noise from there,...

I took the whole upper header above the windshield out, insulated it, and reinstalled....again, quieted that area... but still wind noise...

I sealed the windshield pillars where air was getting in there... better, but noise still there...
thinking that the frameless windows was causing it, I duct taped the front edge and again, quieter,... but still not fixed..

the other thing that's going on is that there is fiberglass grindings all over the dash.... this makes you itch like crazy and you drive down the road like a crack head scratching your face...

55mph and under ,... quiet...picks up at 55 and get worse..at 70 mph... horrible...


I've read and heard about the ace grille problem,,.. but nothing on the hurricane/ windsport model..


the noise is like a window is open...the next idea I have is that the windshield is not sealing???could it be that the air pressure is getting between the rubber seal and lifting at freeway speed??? could it be that the front cap hole for the windshield is cut wrong???? there's defiant air getting in because of the fiberglass dust all over the dash...


most all of the coaches that I have had this problem I have found air coming up the windshield pillar... but on the hurricane you can't get the trim cover off the pillar as it went in before the dash...


I have a DB meter somewhere, need to find it and tape it to a stick so I can chase the noise....but... it could be just resonating off the front grille and traveling up the windshield post... I have a smoke test machine that I could try to rig somehow under the hood to see if smoke comes inside????? like I said....I need help please...
