Default loud whistling noises at 70+

I too have the same loud whistling noises at 70+ coming from the driverâ€<sup>TM</sup>s door window. I took it to the dealer but it was not fixed and I didnâ€<sup>TM</sup>t have time to go back. I will give them another try at fixing that problem. I wonder how may other people have that noise.

Default No whistle, but car wind noise louder than expected at high speeds,

no doubt due to thinner glass in the windows to save weight.

Look for gasket inproperly installed, or door incorrectly aligned. I took my car in for the 5K service and the dealer adjusted the door without my having noticed anything wrong with it. Haven't noticed any change in noise though. Going to try putting a thin strip of tape between the top of the windsheild and roof, to see if that does anything.

Is it definately from the doors? I've found windshield wipers to be a cause to.

On my test drive I thought so too. My golf is no louder, actually.

Have you compared between cars with/without roof rails?
