Wind Noise

Air entering or exiting the vehicle through small openings in the body can result in wind noise. Sources of wind noise are detected by driving the vehicle at highway speeds in four different directions. Listen for sources of wind noise with all the windows closed, radio off, heater and air conditioner blower motor turned off and ventilation ducts open. A stethoscope can be used to pinpoint the source of the noise.

Most wind noise-producing leaks will occur at the door and window seals or at sheet metal joints in the door or the door opening in the body.

Seal all leaks with RTV sealant and foam tape or by positioning or replacing the seals. Road test the vehicle to make sure all leaks have been adequately sealed.
