I can't determine if there is wind coming through the seals in the driver side window or of it is the gap between the door and side mirror causing the noise, but I agree with you that there is a lot of wind noise.

I'll try and persuade them to replace the door seal, I've just read on another site that they have been told not exceed 50 mph on any test, I think someone is taking the piss.

wind noise - dealer seems useless

We've have had our dealer change out the seals in the front door a few times already. Each time they say they replaced it and that there is no more noise, but each time afterwards I get it up to 65-70+ miles there is considerable wind noise which for us is prevalent on the drivers side. :mad: We bring it back and say there is still noise and each time they say yes we acknowledge there is noise.

This totally doesn't make sense. I mean the first few times maybe but the third time , I asked them to check if there was any noise and they said no.:eek:

I agree that it dampens our expectations of the GTI. What's funny is on the golf loaner car, we got that up to 70 and there was no wind noise.

Tomorrow will be the 5th time we are bringing in the car, the third time to try to swap out the seals in the wind channels.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this experience.

I noticed this on my wife's GTI when doing 65mph plus on the drivers side front door. It's not enough to bother me and the wife doesn't even notice it when she's driving. We are really pleased with it, fantastic little car. I haven't driven my M5 since the day we picked up the GTI 2 weeks ago,keep picking up the keys for the GTI all the time!
