Wind Noise on the highway

This weekend I went on a drive that took me on the expressway. Once up to about 60mph I heard some wind noise that appeared to be coming from the top of the car (top of the windshield area).
I didn't have the moonroof open and once parked, I checked the molding and seals, everything appeared snug. I thought about the rust spot on the drivers side window (from my other thread in this section) but it wasn't coming from that area. The seam on the moonroof looks good too. It sounds like loose weather stripping vibrating at speed and at first I thought it was static through the car stereo. I had the windshield replaced about 4 or 5 years ago thanks to a chip that one day grew like a weed so I may have to look at that closer.

I thought I'd put it out here in case someone has had a similar problem and found a fix. thanks,

One thing I have found to cause wind noise is the top of the door itself being bent out just a tad. I have put the window down, my knee against the outer end of the door panel, and bending the window frame in slightly.

I'll look at that but I swear the noise came from the middle of the car, like somewhere near the rearview mirror.
The weather stripping on the doors has come loose in the past as I have a roof mounted bike rack I use and I have to pull it back to mount it. I'll double check that, thanks.
