Yet again wind noise is ruining the ride!

[Creepy Coupe]

Don't get this in my MY2007 GTI, but the tyre noise from the Dunlop SportMaxx's is something else

Strange because I find them ok, noise wise, in mine

CC - Mine are only OK on the smoothest of road surfaces, anything else - very noisy

Could it be the windscreen? I know from some factories there were problems with windscreen sealing which led to wind noise and leaks

has it ever been resealed by vw?

Old thread I realise, but did you get to the bottom of this. I picked up my new GTI on the 1st and have noticed what sounds like wind noise coming from the top rear corner of the drivers door.

I have had on e Mark V GT TDI and two Mark V GTIs and they have all  have a certain level of wind noise from around the B Pillar.  I took my first GTI one to the dealers for investigation and they took me out in another Mark V GTI and it was the same.  I think alot depends on how far back you have your seat - mine is quite far back and at a height where my ear is in line with where the top window edge meets the B Pillar so I hear it quite a bit.

I think you are better to live with it as if you let the dealers loose they will invariably damage something else and you will have door panel rattles or damaged trim where the screwdriver has slipped - I had all of this when I had them fix a squeaky drivers seat.  Unless my car breaks down it is going nowhere near the dealers and I will just turn the stereo up!

My noise is coming from the top rear corner of the door seal (not window). If I push the seal with my hand it stops, let go and it's back. It's like driving with the door slightly open. I'll speak to the dealer tomorrow.

Had mine in the dealer twice over the past 3 weeks. 1st time, they diagnosed that the problem was actually the window seal - seemingly it was warped, allowing wind in between the window and door seal, into the door, and presumably from there through to the car near where I heard the noise from the door seal. 2nd time around they replaced the window seal (they ordered a part after first visit). That cured it. No wind noise.

Can't say I've noticed any wind noise yet.  Long may it continue!

Mine is ok, better than normal but thats because of my new eagle f1 tyres.
