Excessive wind noise

[dan_b]

Hmm - I sat in the passenger seat the other day whilst my partner was driving and noticed what I would describe as "excessive" wind noise coming in through the window/door seal. Coulndn't solve it by opening-reclosing window or door. Has anyone else experienced this and have a suggestion for fixing it? I wonder whether the door isn't quite striking closed properly, or has the rubber door seal failed?

My driver's door does this. It's because the hinges aren't aligned properly after they were replaced on recall, so the door sits slightly too far out and the seals don't seal properly. If you pull the frame in while driving it stops. I'm going to get them to fix it next week, so i'll post back what they do.

there's a thread on re-aligning somewhere, humps posted in it as did I. there's a lot of info and pics in it about the build of the door itself.

in fact, it's here: http://www.a2oc.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8478

yeah, that sounds like exactly what I had. To verify, try pulling the top frame towards the car and it should reduce the noise. It is not difficult to realign the door yourself, easier if you have a helper to hold the door for you.
