The 2012 DSDP windshields are bonded with polyurethane adhesive. The rubber trim ring is just that a trim ring and not used in the sealing of the windshield. I think the Factory technician that worked on our unit called it "lace". . If the adhesive has popped loose anywhere around the windshield not only will you get wind noise but I would expect water will soon follow. I believe the only way to fully inspect the polyurethane is to completely remove the rubber windshield lace. While at Newmar Factory Service this past summer, I had them remove and replace the trim/lace on our 2012 as ours had a ripple and I was concerned the ripple would allow water in. I had the opportunity then to see the coach without the trim and how the windshield was bonded to the front cap and they showed me the trim/lace is more for look than sealing. Once this trim/lace is removed, Newmar told me it needs to be replaced with a new piece. On our 2012 DSDP, I do hear some wind noise from the drivers side window, and attribute it to the drains as others have mentioned here. Once I understand a noise I usually fix it or accept it, and I have come to accept the minor wind noise from the window drains. Since the 2012 does not have a generator slide out, not much on the front to cause wind noise. I know some other 2011 and 2012 owners have had wind noise from the entry door after dealers mistakenly loosened the latch to make door opening/closing easier.
