How to Fix wind noise from side panels

Stef · 15th May 2007, 19:31

If you have some wind noise coming from the front left or right of the car it can come from the small side panels, just in front of the mirrors.

First check if the lower part of the panel has some gap or is a bit loose.

If yes, you have two options.
1- remove the panel and add some hot heat-gunn glue to the front clip, this will pull the panel to the inside. This option is the best, but removing the panel can be a pain.

2- Inject some automotive glue or something into the cap and secure the panel overnight using some tape. (the pictures are made after the mod)

It makes a difference:
If at higher speed ( > 80kmh or 50mph ) you hear a whistle sound coming from the front, left or right. Then go to the dealer or fix it yourself using my instructions.
If you do not feel confident, let the dealer remove the panel.
