Type R wind noise at speed
Is there a fix for wind noise as mine is pretty bad at overtaking speed. I know wind deflectors for a 2 door are hard to find so have ruled that out as an option.

Been up to a speedo indicated 150 on a private stretch and no noise, though I do have wind deflectors

Everything seems to be in order regarding clips etc, I may try adjusting the latch for a slightly tighter door shut.

You can adjust the glass angle typer99, just remove the door cards

The 4dr deflectors look better on a type R than the 2dr ones do...

Good luck getting to the window angle adjuster without removing the door card first

You cant get the 2dr ones any longer.
Here's an R with 4dr deflectors fitted....
As you can see, much nicer looking than the shorter 2dr ones.

Perfect picture,nearly identical to mine
Think I may order a set to cover the marks where mine have been pulled off
