Just had my 3rd check-up of my Max(in May 1 year old)...

At speeds above 50mph rear wind noise..can't tell if driver or passenger side noise comes from...

Dealer said doors were loose & adjusted them-no improvement-actually a little worse...

Two questions:
1)any bulletins on this...wind noise is a pain in the bu...
2)does the 3 year bumper to bumper cover this, or does the 1st year only cover trim & stuff like this????

 

I have the same issue. It sounds like a leaky window or something. I am pretty sure that it's the litte bars just aft of the rear window and hence design. It seems to come from the passenger side because your right ear is not being blocked by the headrest like your left ear. Move your head to the left and you will see the same noise is there.

The noices seems to be less evident at 100 miles per hour :-)

I have the same wind noise problem. I think it is coming from the small rear window in the rear passenger side door. The dealer adjusted it and it got a little better, but it is still there.

 

Kev-oh wise one...

heard any fixes to this...a real bummer considering Max such a joy to drive...

 

I'm not Kev but I'm striving to spam... err post as much as him. I thought RBA posted recently of a TSB for the wind noise. Anyone else remember that?

 

I just noticed this problem on a little recent road trip. I was actually sitting in the rear left passenger seat and noticed this wind whistle coming from the window. It sounded like the window was open. Opening and then closing the window didn't improve the situation. Looks like I'll be visiting the deal soon, but it looks like that won't help either!

 

I had the same problem and addressed this to the dealer. Turns out they put in some 3M tape around and between the seals where the window goes up. No more wind noise (tested up to 135MPH+).

Where exactly was the tape applied? I have the same problem and it is annoying. Is this a possible DIY fix?

 

Where was it applied again???

 

I would think that removal of the window itself would be necessary....may be tough to do without the right tools....

 

Didn't know I was even called out.

I do remember someone mentioning a fix before. Looks like an answer was given in this post.
