At highway speeds i get a whistling/whine in the firewall area. Sometimes it seems to be the right side and others the left, depending on the wind direction. I have searched and had a dealer search for the cause to no avail. Surely my vehicle is not the only 05 tacoma experiencing this problem. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. *tr
