Wind noise untraceable ?

Hi !

I have a constant wind noise noticeable over 50kph in the cabin and it's a nightmare on the motorway.
My mechanic checked under the windscreen trim (which isn't really stuck to the windscreen, there is a gap at some areas on top) and saw broken clips, he showed me them.

Before replacing the windscreen, I wanted to make sure that the air leak was coming from the windscreen so I've put gaffer tape all around the windscreen trim and went for a drive but the wind noise is still here ...

Then, I thought that maybe the wind noise was coming from doors or mirrors so I've put gaffer tape all around the door seals and the mirrors (to cover the gap between the mirror and the housing) but once again, nothing has changed

FIY, spraying water with jet wiper on the windscreen while driving doesn't change anything, the wind noise remains the same.

Do you think that the windscreen can still be the source of the air leak even if I've put gaffer tape all around the outside trim ?
