Alright lads.
Ok, so this one is SERIOUSLY doing my head in!!!!!
In all the years i've owned the S2, problems have come and gone having been successfully resolved. However, there is one that i have tinkered with time and time again but still not any further forward with it.
Yep, wind noise from the drivers side door around the triangle area.
I don't know how many times i've had the door card off adjusting the door card itself, seal, window frame etc but still no further forward. I purchased a second had seal door seal years ago but that has the same problem. The window is adjusted so it fits snug up into the seal and honestly don't think the wind is getting in there.
It's a funny one, because if i drive head on into a wind the door is quiet, the wind noise appears when there is a side wind going from the passenger side across to the drivers side of the car. All day yesterday i spent tinkering with it AGAIN, adjusting, taking the seal on and off, re positioning it slightly, packing the area with different material behind the seal, adding silicone to areas that i thought are suspect, spraying soapy water inside when driving to see if i could get bubbles forming, but nothing, nada, no bubbles or water seemed to be escaping or being blown back in yet the whistling noise persists.
It's like water torture driving with this whislte, AAAARGH!!!
Where the hell can the noise be coming from??
The window looks like the Original one and has delaminated on passenger and driver side, however there is no noise at all from the passenger side, nice and quiet. The foam that runs along the drivers side of the windscreen lifted out some years ago so i simply pressed it back in to situ. The wind noise was there before this happened though. Could the wind be getting in from behind this foam?
I'm not sure of the window configuration as have never seen one coming out so hopefully someone can help with this before i loose my sanity!!!!
Cheers chaps.
