Default New member & wind problems

Hi!

Having bought my first '92 LS-400 two weeks ago, I'm proud to become a member of this forum.

One of the issues I currently have, is that the noise of wind is becoming really annoying at speeds higher than 80 kmph. Do any of you have pointers to where I might start my search in reducing the noise?

Kind regards,

Pitr

are any windows open? can you feel a draft? Does the car have any kind of wind deflectors/racks attached to it? is anything loose?

Hi Rocan,

All windows are shut properly - the sound is not coming from the windows in specific, more from "outside" (roof?)

I cant feel a draft anywhere in the car. There are no wind deflectors or racks attached.

That sounds more like the culprit - I'll check into that tomorrow.
