Hey all,

Seems to be a lot of wind noise coming from the drivers side back door. I've checked the "outer seal" ans it seems intact, as does the inner seal that runs around the door. Anyone have this issue, and is it just a "normal amount of noise? I do sit back pretty far?

Any ideas of what to check, or anybody who soled it let me know.

Thanks

Hi,

Just had the same problem, went to the dealer twice to sort it out but they could'nt find anything wrong with the seals.
Someone noticed a tiny gap in the bonding on the small rear quarterlight and it turned out that the rear small window had not been bonded correctly and the tiny gap caused turbulance and hence the noise.
They rebonded the glass and all OK now.
Really pleased as over 70mph the noise started to get annoying.

Hope this helps.
