high speed wind noise!
« on: 27 February 2011, 20:31 »
when i go above 80mph wind starts making a noise on my door seals & is really f**king annoying, a mate told me you can try bending in the tops of your doors by hand , but i really don`t fancy doing that , cracking paint etc.. would fitting new seals work? any advice would be grateful

My guess would be the door seal, but that would just be a guess!

BTW where abouts in Cockermouth do you live?

Drop the glass down, place a piece of wood between door and frame and carefully bend it in a little, don't go mad, try and see how you get on.
