    i am experiencing noise coming from the front windscreen area, but not able to detect the actual location. What can I do beside heading to the workshop?

    Depending on wind direction, I get wind noise at the right, lower side of the windscreen. I think it is the passenger side windshield wiper that has been parked a little bit higher than it should be. Have never attempted any adjustment because it doesn’t bother me that much.
    Note: I noticed on my sons 2018 Camry, the mirror housings ( similar to Prius) have a row of vortex generators on the top surface. Maybe Toyota knows something that was a result of our exact complaint.
