Wind noise

Anyone having wind noise issues?I am getting noise from windows at highway speed.

 

In heavy crosswinds, it sounds like this:

 

Yup,thats the sound!

 

Yeah, I haven't asked the dealer about it, because I'm pretty sure I'm just going to get a "thats normal" response. I'd be interested to see if anyone had it fixed.

 

I will give it a try,see how well they look after me.Will post the answer.

 

Dealer is replacing my door seals for minor wind noise. No clue if that'll fix it.

 

Good,hope it works.

Bunch of examples on Youtube. Dealer should be able to fix it!

Thanks smitty99 ,great info.

 

Thanks @smitty99 !

 

Great vids. Pretty sure my noise is the control arms, so I doubt that it'll fix it for me. Lol.

 

You need the 9/16" plastic plugs in your control arms .. mine were making noise between 45mph-55mph and now its quiet, you need 6 total ( 3 plugs per side ) i found them at my local Lowes store

 

It's a TSB, you can also make the dealer fix the LCAs but I did my own buying the plugs at lowes.... I think it cost me about $10 in parts to plug all of the holes. Personally I'd probably hold the dealer accountable if I were to do it all over again but that's just because I have so many other issues now.

 

Yeah. I'm aware it's a tsb, and that we only need a few bucks and a few minutes to fix it ourselves. I want the dealer to fix it because I'm a curmudgeonly type of fella.

 

Good information for and from all of you guys ,glad you are looking out for each other,thanks.

 

I'm too cheap and made them fix it.

 

3pks of the plastic plugs @ $1.05 per pack and no waiting at my dealerships service dept ... worth the money to me

 

Careful what you wish for, years ago, every time I had to take a new vehicle to the stealership I got it back with a few extra scratches.
And a tech buddy of mine took his new suburban he'd just bought for a/c vent door issue. When he got it back I told him to check under dash and sure nuff, the cowl assembly had been glued together. The happy ending though is when he took it back they installed a new one and problem solved.

Hope that helps
Cheers!

 

Had a tech crack off the thermometer on my Mazda 3 when changing the windshield. He glued it back together and it fell off driving. I was pissed.
