Got Excessive wind noise at 90mph and above, well comes in a bit earlier than that but thats what i cruise at.

Only on my side, wife says it dont happen her side.

I think it has something to do with the plastic bit that comes up the side of the windscreen.
Could be down to door fit - its not the window seal thats fine.

Anyone else had this? or heard of this happening?

Its like a fag flapping in the wind but more of a wistling sound.

not sure mate..

on other cars i've heard about this kind of thing happening due to something going on with the door mirrors, so that might be worth considering.

Nah dont think its them.

Only coz its def up by my head. Think its right where the A post meets the roof. I cant see any visual difference between the near and offsides. The only reason i said about the plastic strip is because its worse in a cross wind and sometimes it occurs at lower speeds when there's a gust of wind.

Guess its just one of those things i gotta live with.

Nah not yet

Just a crap amp and a set of 6x9's in an MDF parcel shelf for now. My ears needed a rest after the band in Walkabout Sat night!

Into rebuilding/extending my garage atm so rest is on backburner til that gets finished.

hi len405, i have the same prob sometimes mostly on the right, and sometimes on the left, at bout 90ish, it is a bit annoying u can feel the air coming in at the a post, it is like the door is trying to open or something

Thanks for your post surreylad. Made me check mine but i dont get any air coming thru the door. My door seals seem fine to me, only if i stick fingers in and seperate the seal then i get more noise.

Still think mine is the plastic strip

no problem len, maybe air is only coming in when i part the seal from the door, let us know if u find a cure mate

Had a play with the plastic strip and offside came adrift easily, but nearside wouldnt budge with finger tips, so didnt try harder.

So that seems most likely to me. Only solution i can think of is to try and glue down this strip, not ideal i know.
Or might go see a windscreen fitting place and ask them.
