Bloody Noise

[TH Dukes]

Hi guys Im new hear but ive been checking out the forum since just after
christmas when I scored myself a 2000 TH magna, any way onto the question.

Has any one had trouble when driving over 60Km the wind between the window and the side mirror makes the most irritating wistling noise it drives me nutts. Does any one know how to fix this???
Any help would be great.

hey man,
i ahve the same problem. but i havent noticed it recently... i have a new stereo in my car... that might be why.. i stopped caring after a while..
i dont know how to fix it, i think it has something to do with the seal and the way the window is.. not sure though..

Its the seal and a bloody anoying problem it is if your unlucky enough to have it. Make sure your window is all the way up so starts, if it still makes the noise then check the condition of the seal.

Sunroof..... Get an after market sunroof... these days the look factory and not only do they look cool, but they have a great purpose of being able to let the hot air staight out the top of your car, and, at least in my experience in other cars, you get no where near the wind noise..

Could be the window seals as was pointed out, the rear window seals have a big problem with falling out, causing a gap and that leads to a whistling noise. Anothing thing is make sure the windows a up fully, it sounds stupid but make sure they are up tight. Being sill less windows, it really does need to be a tight fit in order to get no noise.

With your side mirrors, using some very light sand paper, smooth out the hard line edge which is around mirrior around 30mm back from the front (hard to explain), it looks like a valley that runs around the whole mirrior. This will reduce resistance and hence reduce whistel.

Well, do I feel like a bit of a moron.... I should have read the post a little clearer. Can't say i have had a wind noise problem with the windows all the way up, however, with the windows part way down, I find the wind noisue un barable.... I either have to have the windows all the way down, or it is the air con for me.... wish I had a Sunroof!

Yeh actually on my 99TH sports there is an annoying whistle that happens from the wind in between the mirror and the window.. whenyou have the window (drivers side) all the way down it has this annoying whistle - and it cant be the seals or anything cos if you put your hand in the space between then the noise goes away..

i also had a wind noise problem in the back window when it was fully up over about 80k/h, but that was easily fixed by just adjusting the door so it sat a bit tighter against the seal - now all is well !

seriously though after about 3 months you wont even notice the noise is there..

hey all

i have the same problem - but normally only over 130 (thats with the windows up)

the wind noise inbetween the mirror and the open window - just rest your hand there while driving

or get some aftermarket mirros - aerotyope style

you guys are worried about wind noise ? once i was driving along a highway at 110ish *caugh* with the window down and this bloody rock or large insect deflected of the mirror strait into my bloody face not only did it hurt it scared the bloody hell outta me

[magna_chick]

there is of course the simple solution....do what i did, wrap electrical tape around the joins of the mirror, works a treat and i havent had the noice since.
