Hi y'all

Has anyone experienced wind noise above 50mph on their Impreza RB5?

Thanks

Normally the window seal around the drivers mirror. Try a touch of vaseline on the seal as it helps it slide into its proper place.

Usually this happens when the window has been opened and shut after closing the door. Try opening and closing the door without touching window and see if it still occurs. If it doesnt, use the vaseline. If it still does check positioning of the seal, adjust the position of the door etc.

There is a mod to the window seals that you can do very simply. If you insert some washer hose into the rubber seal, that will stop the noise
