I just got my 2025 GX 550 a few days ago and I am a little disappointed. The wind noise is awful! It is like my sunroof is open. I do not have cross bars or roof rack? Then the heated seats are like they don’t even work? Any solutions for either? Thanks for any help. I am already considering selling it due to those two issues!
Wind Noise and Heated Seats

if no cross bars or rack, I'm not sure what else you are hearing. What model did you get?....The standard OT doesn't have acoustic glass, but it shouldn't make too much of a difference. I know any type of noise is subjective but it sounds really bad from your post.
All trims have it except the Overtrail. This was per a Canadian spec sheet, but I've heard the US was the same.

You probably have the heated seats set to auto, and you don't need heat right now. ;-)
I've noticed wind noise from my driver's side mirror. When you're up to speed on a road or highway, try folding in the side mirrors to see if the noise goes away - you just press one of the little buttons on the driver's side door panel next to the side mirror adjustment buttons.
I’ve had my OT for two weeks and it is noisy but not a surprise given it’s basically brick on four wheels with little in the way of aerodynamic elements. And I knew that going in so not surprised. Hell, the side mirrors alone are pretty noisy.
I found the majority of the wind noise coming from the HVAC system. I set my Climate control option to S-Flow and it quite things down significantly at all MPH. The HVAC system is consuming volumes of air to control the climate in the entire cabin where S-Flow focuses just on occupants cutting down the required air intake/airflow. Maybe the upright windshield causes turbulent air from outside intake below the windshield. It was driving me crazy hopefully it’ll help you.
