A5 Sportback Wind Noise
Hi all...I've recently noticed a whistling coming from my driver side window (I think) at speeds over ~60mph. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing the issue and/or if the collective wisdom of the forum has any ideas?
Thanks
Thanks

Try lowering your window a tiny bit and then raising it again. With the frameless widows on the 5 series the car will automatically lower about a quarter inch whenever you open the door than raise it again when you close the door in order to get a good seal. Iv'e noticed on my S5 SB that occasionally it doesn't make a real tight seal when the door gets closed and I have to do this quick down and up in order to reseat the glass against the weatherstrip.

Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. I played with the windows (all of them) tonight on the way home from work...anywhere from 40-70-ish. I still notice the noise...more of a high pitched whistle than a "whooshing" when I hit 60+.
I'll keep playing with the windows, and if it persists, will run it by the dealer. Maybe I have a bad seal somewhere?
