Windshield replaced at 4700 miles!!!

So, I had heard a couple of times, at highway speeds, a very high pitch noise coming from what sounded like the front of the sunroof. I took the MINI in for service and after adjusting the sunroof, the noise came back. It turns out it's the windshield and it has to be replaced I guess if I would've waited a little more there would've been potential for a water leak!

Anyone else dealt with this?

I have the same noise, and my MA told me they would have to remove the windshield and replace it. The dealer is over 80 miles away, so i haven't done it yet
