Default How is your wind noise?

Just wondering do you have any wind noise from the windows, and how bad is it?

I start to have some wind noise when I speed over 80 mph.
(Does it considered as good or bad? I've nothing to compare with.)

Yes I know there is a TSB, that's why I wonder what is consider as good sealing, and what is consider as bad wind noise. I don't notice any serious noise below 80.

If you go over 80mph often enough, the other noise you might hear is the police siren...

I was hearing wind noise at around 45 so my dealer replaced my door seals. Now I start hearing noise at 50. Whisper quiet my car is not. I really need to spend time in another Crossfire though to compare the noise level.

Not terrible, not great though. Compared to my Fiance's 4Runner, it is very quiet though! :-)

Exactly my point, I will never know if the wind noise is acceptable or bad unless I compare with another crossfire. Hopefully I will get some idea over here, although everyone's hearing ability is different, haha~

I start to hear at 80, and yours at 50, so I guess mine is pretty good, or your ear is more sensitive than mine.

My dealer's latest attempt to reduce the wind noise was to install new seals. Now I get water dripping inside the car from the top of the window when it rains.

But was your wind noise eliminated?

I can hear the wind starting at 50 and by 75 it's blowing away. But it's not really that distracting compared to road noise from the tires.

My Limited is one of quiet'est cars I've ever owned. I dont get a wisper at 70 or 80. Great car. Now in my old Porsche Targa, I had to wear ear plugs.

My roadster has no wind noise at all...get some road noise from the tires but that's it. Stays is dry as can be through the worst rains...all in all, much better than my Vette was.

I have problems with the wind noise, but it happens at a lot lower speed than 80 mph. It is both on the drivers side by the top, and the passenger side from the plastic triangle. Noise is evident at 40 and annoyingly evident at 55+. The windows look properly alligned and there are no water leaks. TSBs for both, but no more warrenty. Guess I will try the weather stripping solution posted by a member (dont remember who) here. Has anyone else tried this with success?

You mean these cars are supposed to be quiet? Mine is so noisey I thought it was normal for a Crossfire. As soon as I move I get the wind noise. The first week I had the car I kept trying to put the windows up
because of the noise. At least they don't leak.
I have been avoiding having to go to the dealer - but with the hard-start problem related to the fuel pump and now this, I may have to.

When my Crossfire was new there was no wind or road noise up to about 75 mph when I would get some wind noise from the tops of the side windows. I first realized there was a problem with the car at seven months when I started to get road noise from the bottom of the driver's door. The source became apparent when snow fell on the car during a morning at work then melted. The resulting runoff then refroze across the rubber door seal where it turns in at the bottom of the door opening.

I've tried to get this problem fixed on several trips to four dealers (two dealers refused to work on the car, another dealer spent a couple of hours on it, said it was OK and then refused to work on it again). The original dealer has worked on it six times and has only made the problem worse.

Read somewhere that someone inserted additional stripping between the seals on the body and this cut down on the wind noise significantly. One of these days I'm going to get ambitious and try this.

I've noticed quite a wind noise from the passenger side of the car anytime I exceed 75 or so.........thankfully I found a way to fix it though!
