Wind noise

[SteveX5]

I saw a thread earlier on this but now can't find it. Maybe it was on vortex.

Anyway, week old GTi, has drivers side wind noise once you get up to 50-60mph. Coming from wing mirror area. Can't feel air infiltration - just the noise.

Anybody else experience this? Fix? Hate to take it to the dealer.

Thanks.

Mine has no wind noise at any speed.

I've had this on the drivers door, sounded like air was entering the cabin somewhere around the A pillar.
It's was either the rubber trim at the A pillar or the side of the windscreen, I can not remember which but the dealership fixed it over two visits.

Same on mine. Very smooth and quiet ride. I drove a 2012 BMW 328i before that and I can tell you that the Gti's drive is not worse, in fact it feels better for me.

Had wind noise issue on mine also. Only on driver side. Dealer couldn't sort it out. Had to deal with it myself. Compared right an left side. Only difference I found was in the red circle seen on attached picture. There was a gap of about 2 mm. Pushed "A" towards "B" and no more wind noise.
