Squeaking at 75mph?
I wanted to post this with my other post, but I decided that it needed it's own! 
On my trip to Baltimore this weekend, I noticed a weird sound coming from my car. When I hit about 75mph, it would start squeaking. I have never hit those speeds in my own town and this was it's first road trip.
It sounds like it is coming from the front. My friends suggested that it could be the wipers on the glass, but I am not too sure if it is or not.
I pulled out my celphone... it was the only thing I had around to record the sound. Here is the sound.... http://www.nsoroma79.com/LJ/FitSqueak.wav Sorry for the crappy quality, but I wanted to ask you guys about this sound.
Have any of you heard this before or do you know what it could be. I'm kinda scared.
Thanks,
Lor

Applies To: 2007 Fit – From VIN JHMGD3....S000001 thru JHMGD3....S008480
2007 Fit: Wind Noise at the Top of the Windshield
SYMPTOM
Wind noise may be heard from the top of the
windshield at highway speeds.
PROBABLE CAUSE
Due to variations in windshield placement, airflow over
the windshield molding may cause it to vibrate.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Fill the channel above the upper windshield molding
with silicone sealant.
REQUIRED MATERIALS
3M Black Super Silicone Sealant:
3M P/N 051135-08662
(One tube repairs three vehicles.)
3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner:
3M P/N 051135-08984
(One container repairs six vehicles.)
WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION
In warranty: The normal warranty applies.
Operation Number: 831004
Flat Rate Time: 0.5 hour
Failed Part: P/N 73150-SLN-003
H/C 8325664
Defect Code: 00401
Symptom Code: 00101
Template ID: 06-019A
Skill Level: Repair Technician
Out of warranty: Any repair performed after warranty
expiration may be eligible for goodwill consideration by
the District Parts and Service Manager or your Zone
Office. You must request consideration, and get a
decision, before starting work.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Look at the upper, right-hand corner of the
windshield for a small round sticker. This sticker
was applied at the port to indicate that the vehicle
has been inspected, and a repair is not required.
• If the vehicle does not have this sticker, go to
step 2.
• If the vehicle has this sticker, the vehicle is OK,
and no further action is required.
2. To protect the paint, apply a 2-inch strip of masking
tape to the roof next to the edge of the upper
windshield molding.

3. Cut off the tip of the 3M Black Super Silicone
Sealant tube applicator at the first groove. Lightly
file the outside diameter of the applicator tip so that
it barely fits into the gap between the molding and
the roof.
4. Using a plastic card (credit card or something
similar), pull up the outer edge (lip) of the molding
at the middle of the windshield. Working toward the
side of the windshield, fill the entire channel under
the molding with the sealant.
5. Move to the other side of the vehicle, and then
repeat step 3.
6. Lightly push down on the molding to smooth it out
and form an even seal.
7. Wait for 5 minutes, and then remove the masking
tape.
8. Using a shop towel and 3M General Purpose
Adhesive Cleaner, clean off any excess sealant.
Cut off the first segment
of the applicator tip.
Start at the middle and work outward.
