Cause/Condition/Correction 6 Through 10
Condition #6Wind rush from the front door.
Cause
The front door may be outboard of the front fender.
Correction
Make sure the front fender is outboard of the leading edge of the front door. Adjust the front fender outboard of the door.
Condition #7
Wind noise or wind rush from the "B" pillar.
Cause
The door secondary seal may not be in contact with the front door.
Correction
Adjust the door for proper contact. Place a piece of paper (such as a dollar bill) on the seal and close the door. There should be a constant drag when pulling the paper between the seal and the door frame.
Condition #8
Wind noise or wind rush around the top of the door frame.
Cause
The door upper auxiliary seal may not be in contact with the body.
Correction
There should be no gap between the upper auxiliary seal and the body. Place a piece of paper (such as a dollar bill) on the auxiliary seal and close the door. There should be a constant drag when pulling the paper between the auxiliary seal and the body.
If the lip is bent in a local area, try a heat gun to straighten the lip out. Otherwise, the molding will have to be replaced. If the lip is not bent, refit the door by raising the door so the molding lip makes contact with the roof.
Condition #9
Wind noise or wind rush from the inner belt seal.
Cause
The inner belt seal may not be in contact with the door glass.
Correction
Check if it is due to a localized bulge in the door glass and replace glass if a bulge is present. Otherwise, try a heat gun on the inner belt molding lip. Replace inner belt molding if required.
Condition #10
Wind noise from the top front corner of the door frame.
Cause
The window run channel seal may not be seated all the way.
Correction
A visual check should confirm if there is a minimum of painted surface showing at the top of the mirror patch bezel. Push the seal firmly into the corner.
