wind noise help

All, in trying to track down wind noise from the front screen area I noticed that the rubber finishers on the front of the plastic trim that covers the rain channels were standing proud of the windscreen by about 5mm.
With cunning use of insulation tape to cover this air gap the noise goes! generally Hurrah, but if I now permanently "mastic" this trim down will this now cause problems with water not clearing from the rain channel?

If anyone could check to see if they have the finishers flush with the screen or standing off too please??

Many thanks for any help, Gone

I've just (touch wood) sorted the wind noise at the bottom of the screen by refastening the A pillar trim on the drivers side.

I've done a post about it.

That vibrated and sounded like it was coming from the bottom of the screem, if thats any help......

If you mean the end of the rain channels on the roof, over the screen, I'm pretty sure mine are flush.

Thanks Mark,
Yes, it's the black rubber trim on the ends of the plastic covers over the rain channel.
Just looking for confirmation that they should be flush, they are held in place with white plastic clips which look OK, but just don't hold it flush to the screen.
If anyone has a photo of top corner of screen that would be great!!

Thanks
