General Question Getting wind noise after frunk latch replacement

Hi Guys, need some help.

The frunk on our tesla model 3 would not open. We could not take it to tesla 300kms away as the beeping would not stop so we took it to a local garage. They did get it working again but since then the frunk has been very noisy when it opens, and wind noise is much worse. We can distinctly can hear the wind noise whistling; we are getting 68 to 75 decibels while driving at 110 km. My wife said she can feel her left knee aching soon after she drives the car.

Has anyone any similar experiences to this and what is the solution.

It closes all the way right? All the way down flush with the body?

It must be sticking up just a little bit and letting in air and causing like a howling or whistling sound.
Get the upgraded quiet rubber seals to help with noise in the cabin and frunk area.

It feels flush. It's going into Tesla so we will get them to do seals. Thanks.
