How To Locate Wind Noise
- Attach cloth tape to every place, such as panel seams, projections, molding seams, glass and body seams, etc. which might conceivably be the source of wind noise.
- Then make a road test to check that the places not covered by tape are not sources of wind noise.
- Remove the strips of tape one by one, making a road test after each is removed, until a wind noise source is discovered.
- When such a place is found, cover it again and repeat the procedure to check if there are any other noise source.
- If no others are found, the last remaining tape is the only source.
- Cut the remaining piece of tape into smaller pieces, attach it again as it was before, and then remove the pieces one by one to narrow down the source.
- Check that wind noise occurs when the last remaining tape is removed, and that noise does not occur when it is re-attached.
- When the source(s) of the wind noise is finally located, attach butyl tape, body sealer or similar material to obstruct this source as much as possible.
