i have got a noise coming through one of my heater vents even when there closed sounds like when u have left the door slightly open any ideas

 

Sure it's not from the wing mirror mate?

no defantly out of the vent had the mirror of already

 

guess you own a classic? if so you need to get used to strange sounds. mines makes wind noises from both wing mirrors and where the doors meet the door frame.

 

Drive faster.

 

mine does it too... get a nur spec.. that should drown it out nicely. works on mine!

 

You need to buy a German car!!

 

rub some vaseline on the top edges of your windows so they close properly as well. Helps them seal easier if its a classic. Dont overdo the lube though

Two of my classics needed this little trick because of wind noise. Know thats not whats causing yours but I clicked on the thread because excessive wind was I problem for me too because the windows wouldnt seal properly when you put them up

Think ive said enough.....................

 

my left ddor windown gets noise from where the mappers have there cables coming through it and it just moves the rubber seals on the doors

 

ye its a classic nur spec it is then

 

Wind noise? Check. I get it on both mirrors, though I was convinced it was the heater vents at first.

 

It's the door seals, cars with no door frame are notorious for it, especially scoobs.
Wouldn't do the vasaline as it's petroleum based and will rot the rubber, try a silicone based gel if you want but it may not make much difference

With MY01 WRX & MY05 STi,I had no wind noise but the MY07 RB320.... thats was another story!
I read that the Hawkeye was especially susceptible with this, known as 'the bag pipes' at speeds in excess of 80-90mph.
I cured this with a set of Subaru 'Side Visors' which indicates it was the frameless windows!

 

get the same issue here.

was wondering how much new door rubbers are,might be worth an investment,since classics will be 15+ yrs old,rubber does wear etc
