Default Front windshield turbulence at speed

At speeds over 100 mph, there is very excessive audible turbulence at the top edge of my front windshield. I also notice that the windshield wiggles a bit at the top edge. Moreover, if I push against the windshield at speed, the turbulence gets louder. It seems like some air is getting underneath the rubber seal on the top edge of the windshield. Could this be a sign of rust on the windshield edge? I do notice that the windshield leaks a little of the car is left out in the rain. If it is rust, where should I go to get it checked and covered under warranty? The car is a 96, so i do still have rust warranty right? Thanks for any comments/suggestions.

I would not expect rust at the top of the windshield. Rust will usually form first in the lower corners when the drains are cloged and water sits there.

I would have the windshield and the seal looked at by a pro. I would think that the seal, at the least, needs to be replaced.
