GoliathJay Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Anyone else get the folowing problem? Open door, get in, close door (Sometimes doesn't shut tight, has to be slammed a bit, but not too hard). Start driving, get to like 40mph and hear a load whistling noise. Open window, close window, noise gone. Ideas/Fixes welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADL Mark Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Silicone lubricant, you can get a spray can from Halfrauds. Just spray it on to the rubber and then wipe it off, it softens up the rubber and helps it seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShamelessTT Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Also check all ur rubber seals are tucked in where there supposed to be, when i replaced my drip guards i had this problem. It was the seals were not seated properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I had what sounds like exactly the same problem. The windows were actually getting caught on the strip above the windows. You can adjust the glass to stop this. Try closing your door lots of different ways to see if the glass catches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I get that, I just lower/rase the window as you said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawby Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I had this problem too. The window glass was slightly lose so one end of the glass would go too high and catch on the outer side of the rubber seal. It was only a 10 minute fix to strip the door down and tighten it. I suspect the problem is caused by people closing the door by pushing on the glass instead of using the door handles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgtX80 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I had this on my old car, just put the window down a bit, close the door & put it back up again. It seemed to depend on if it was cold or if i was on a slope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
