Hi guys.
Have You experienced wind noise above 40mph? Seems like somewhere between mid dash and right side.
Like even from behind the dash itself. First time I heard it, i thought my AC fan was running max speed.
Seems someone had same issue but no solution in the post

checked the weather seals and they look nice.
Had the car on service for a longer time, and not sure, but I think that noise wasn’t there before. They did a lot of things with new wheels and tires, timing belt, suspension etc.

but the noise is definitely „windy”

 

Any water intrusion? Is the windshield OEM or has it been replaced? Seals do fail with age and UV exposure, thankfully they are still available and are easy to replace. You should also condition your seals a few times a year to keep them pliable.

 

I bought it June but had it 3 months in workshop as parts in Europe are not available (eg. Timing by tensioner). Have new rims, new Bridgestone tires, changed timing belt and tensioner, parts of suspension, engine and transmission pół, etc. I checked my windshield and looks ok (have the european one with heating at the bottom). I have the LS430 from german market so was not exposed to U.S. sun etc. Will try to stick a tape around front windshield, door gaps etc and take it for a Spin. Maybe that will help. If not it is up to the workshop from Tuesday. NEXT step is to change ale weather seals to new ones and also thinking or re-glueing the front windshield with new top and side seals. BTW engine noise is also Heard when reving up

 

Have you heard anything back from the mechanic yet?

 

Nope. They took it tuesday and first try to solve check engine and cats issue

 

Do we have the same car? Lol no CEL for me yet but smells bad bad when I floor it. I feel like mine was run pretty hard by previous owner

 

any updates?
