Diagnosis Procedure

When diagnosing a wind noise, it is important to get an accurate customer description. Detailed information will reduce diagnosis time and ensure the condition is repaired. The following questions will help the process:

1. At what speed does the noise occur?

2. At what time of day?

3. What type of road?

4. Was the vehicle traveling against a head wind? No wind? Cross wind? or Tail wind?

5. What was the approximate air temperature?

6. Is the condition repeatable?

Make every effort to get the above information, because it will help identify the nature of the wind noise.

Try to duplicate the condition. Verify if the noise originates from the "A" pillar area. Press on or open the window glass to verify if the noise stops.
