I found a manufacturing defect on my car.
I've had the car since May and I've always heard a wind-related noise from something coming from the rear, when the speed is over 120km/h...
Yesterday I had the opportunity to ask a mechanic to take a look and he found culprit. The problem is with the rear spoiler (above the rear glass, with the brake light), it sort of "shakes" a bit at high speeds.
This wouldn't be a problem because its supposed to have a rubbery pad, which prevents it from touching directly the rear door of the car.
While the right side has enough rubbery pad, the left side has none, thus when the wind makes it shake, it vibrates when touching with the body of the car.
I'll take some photos for you soon.
