Have new mk7.5. Great car except for one huge issue. Terrible wind noise on drivers side above 65 mph. Driven me nuts. Tried every suggestion I could find via google. All failed. Dealership gave me a "could not duplicate". No kidding since they say VW wont let them drive over 65 mph. Have spent hours trying everything I could think off. Taping up all windows did not work so got no clues there
Finally found cure for me. The vertical open ended door seal about 6" long close to the mirror: completely plugged it up at the top channel exit. Noise now about 90% gone and I can live with it.
It may be that the 'door adjustment' some dealerships have performed resulted in this channel being compressed to achieve same end. I don't know but it was not offered to me.
Thought other owners might be interested in this fix that helped me and I have not read anywhere else.
