Hi there

Is wind noise normal at motorway speeds?
At 70mph and over I am getting wind noise right behind my head to the right which is quite annoying, car is a coupe.

If it was at 100mph I could understand but at 70mph it is pretty annoying, anything I can adjust or look at to fix, yes could take it to a dealership but would rather just learn and fix it myself.

Mine too. I am meeting the service manager tomorrow to try and get to the bottom of the problem. I will report back if he finds a solution.

Regarding my visit to the dealer regarding the wind noise. The service manager agreed it was a problem and discovered the quarter light was misaligned. He showed me the adjustment which was made by removing a small plastic cover which is located inside at the far end of the window. He decided the window needed pulling in to form a tighter fit to the rubber seal and used a spanner to adjust it. I do not have any technical expertise but once it was pointed out I could see the problem. Hope this is helpful.

Thanks - I have a similar problem with wind noise so will try to check whether I have the same situation with my quarter glass.

Hi
Just bought an SVR......which has an irritating wind noise on the drivers side. Anything over about 50 to 55 mph. It becomes intrusive to the extent I couldn’t hear the exhaust!

Did the fix above work?

I know it was a while ago....but if there are any updates, that would be great

I have changed my car now, but sadly although I took the 360 back to the dealer a couple of time it was not solved to my satisfaction.

Wind noise should not be a problem on the F-type. I have driven mine on German autobahn at speeds over 250 km/h for longer distances, and never experienced any wind noise. It is some noise at high speeds, but mostly noise from wheels and engine - and surpricingly little, compared to other cars I have driven at high speeds.
