If it's only when moving, there's probably a grommet in the firewall that's not in right.

It's only when i'm moving but if it was a gromet you would think the wind would be down by my feet. This wind is comming from the seam behind the airbag/center of the wheel. It's no small amount at -35c and 110km/hr you cant use the lower part of the wheel without gloves.

I dont see any cracks but I would think that would create cold feet and knees. It's not comming from below the dash its from behind the airbag in the wheel. Probably blow my hair back without the airbag.
