Carry out a road test, letting the vehicle gradually reach the speeds where the noise starts: if the wind noise persists, check that the plugs are present and that the bulkhead coupling rubber seals in the dash panel are correctly fitted.
Remove the gummed paper from the area (A) and repeat the road test: if the wind noise persists, check the buffers where the bonnet and the wings couple at the rear.
Remove the gummed paper from the area (B) and repeat the road test: if the wind noise persists, check the condition of the front weatherstrip and make sure it is correctly fitted (it should adhere perfectly to the crossmember when the bonnet is closed).
