Wind Noise

**Astonm** · 23-03-2008,10:23 PM

I'm getting lots of wind noise around the B pillar, as my seat is quite away from the steering wheel this means the noise is right in my right ear. Has anyone had this problems and if so any suggestions on sorting it?

Thanks

only a suggestion to help you find the problem. it works perfectly well on leaking sunroofs,thought it may cut the noise down for you.
only other thing i can suggest is the dealer

perhaps try altering the door latch strikers to pull the door in a bit more?

**Astonm** · 24-03-2008,02:13 PM

What are the door latch strikers and how do you adjust those?

open the door and on the pillar you will see either a metal "loop" bolted on with two torqx screws, or a single stud sticking out where the door latch hooks onto when closed.
loosen these off very slightly and tap them in towards the inside of the car a little. retighten
and close the door. it should pull the door up on to the seals a bit more.
