Wind noise at speed.

Wind noise at speed.
I am experiencing a problem with wind. It seems that at speeds above 40 MPH there is a lot of wind noise coming from the drivers side. Not sure whether it is coming from the door seal or windscreen seal. Anybody have any idea how to stop this annoying sound.

Some mechanics have a stethescope that works like a directional sound reciever. This way they can isolate where the noise is originating from. After that your may need to figure out is the seal is fixable or needs replacing. Or... turn up the radio! My wife's Subaru was really bad for wind noise, I added a bit of foam rubber near the rear view mirror support and it solved the problem. Just took a few months to figure it out. A strip of paper held in the area might work as well to find the leak. If the paper stays tight it is not a leak area, if the paper can be slid out then you have a gap.

I have the same on my 2005 coupe and it is the vertical rubber (plastic?) seal between the triangular "fill-in" behind the door mirror and front edge of the window. The seal does not remain fully in place at the top - causing the wind noise - but usually returns to its proper position if the window is opened and closed a time or two.

Use a loonie or a toonie.
I know, they won't work for that. I just wanted to say loonie and toonie. I think I still have a handful of toonies. Unfortunately I can't sneak them in when I paying for stuff like I can with Canadian quarters.
