hi all,

i don't know if any of you have noticed this, but there is a significant amount of wind noise coming into the cabin from the door seals, i believe, at highway speeds.

is there a way to mitigate this? i've watched some videos on how to replace the rubber seals in order to ameliorate this, however the videos are typically focused on doing this on older vehicles that have worn seals to begin with. as my vehicle is new, the seals are new and, well, i'm not quite sure what, if anything, to do.

advice?

I only seem to get the wind noise on this one section of highway on my passenger side, but all other directions I don't. The noise makes me think I have a window cracked. Thankfully the direction changes within a few minutes so it goes away.

it happens for me on the driver's side and it's super annoying and yeah, it sounds like the window is slightly cracked, but it's not. ugh.

Lightly lube the door seal.

You can use..um...er....a...personal lubricant 😳🤔🤭....if you can't find Gummi Pffledge

Silicone right. WD40 dries out.
