What did you do to your mk7 today?

I have to try this....I've been having issues with back windows down and the booming drone?

or whatever you call it when it makes loud noise with wind (No, NOT farts)
It actually does work. If you have a sunroof that pivots/tilts open in the back, not sure if MK7 does, that works even better. Air is sucked in the rear right and swirls around your head before going out the roof. It's the most air flow for the driver with the least noise at highway speed.

Put an ethanol sensor on it.
Current tank reading E 30-31.
Let me know when you're ready to sell that used :)

My kids call it the helicopter noise.. Drives me nuts when the rear and front windows aren’t at the same level.

It is actually called Helmholtz resonance and has gotten worse as cars get more aerodynamic.

Here is an article if you're really interested in how/why this happens.

Added a red GTI Performance Pack badge. I figured it was fitting since the Canadian 2018 models all come with the added HP and LSD but only come with the chrome GTI badge.

Added 4oz polyfill to the sub. Sounds tighter to me?

Never heard of anyone mentioning this? What is the procedure?

I'm really impressed with the stock sounding stereo, and bass.....mind you, I don't crank it like I used to in my younger days!

Looks like it should. Looks great. Is that her new blue gray color replaced CSG with this year?

Dont need to pull it out of trunk nor unhook. 4torx screws (t15 i think) and pull out woofer. Stuff in 1/3 of bag using something like half a ruler or so to get back in there. put woofer back in and screw down. 5 mins tops.
