These car have bad wind noise, not unbearable though. Are you t-tops sealing ok? No water leaskage? You car is stock and new, so the uniboby should be staright. I've seen modified engine twist these bodies like a pretzel. Is the window rigid from side to side? Sometimes air pressure can ben the window outward enough the make noise. This is more prone to older cars, but you never know. When a door is openned then closed, I noticed that the windows actually seal better when I roll them down an inch and roll them back up. It's stupid, but it works. Better grove placemant, I guess. You should also check the seal at the leading edge of the door (near the bottom of the window). That seems to be a headache, too. Good luck.

So many people ask me why someone would buy a car so poorly designed and notoriously problematic. I just say "mid 13s, that's why."

well, i noticed it right away... just havent thought to ask..

Already have tried all of the usuals that you posted.. my 95 didnt have this issue.. the only time the window would be affected by the wind is if you changed lanes at over 120...
keep it straight and all is good..


may take it in to see what they say...

Good luck.

Check out the seals around the door & window, and make sure they are intact. Also check the surfaces the seals press against to make sure there is nothing there causing the seal to deform and let air/noise in. Armorall the seals (they will swell slightly) to get a little better seal.

I have a 2002 SS, and I have the same thing.

At 40mph or higher, it increasingly gets worse. None of my passengers seem to be able to feel the leak, but after rain, there is usually a drop or two that actually got in if you feel the inside top where the T-top seals up there.


Wondering if warranty will cover leaks?
