Wind Noise

[Gristy]

Just had a new windscreen fitted under warranty and noise is gone now

It is without doubt the windscreen fitment. I had mine replaced under warranty and now it's fine. Had no problems with the dealer and they did a good job. It was a major frustration and I put up for it for far too long, should have got it done much sooner.

Did mine after i got fed up with the noise but left it long enough to get a few chips and then get a new windscreen

When I contacted my dealer about the wind noise occurring at speeds in excess of the limit their reply was "sorry sir, our technician is not allowed to exceed the limit so you will have to drive". As a result I still have not had a new windscreen

I was in the car this evening and the noise occurred at 70 MPH but stopped once the speed increased. It's more noticeable at lower speeds if there is a strong head or crosswind. On my MCS the noise is rather musical

I had the same problem, they resealed the windscreen and the plastic and .....quiet!

Some dealers seem to fit a brand new windscreen, others re-seal it - was it ok first time?

Now know of 3 x April 2007 build cars that have had this problem

Not sure if a conclusion was ever reached on this thread but I had this and got a new screen under warrenty and all is fine now - no high pitched squeels/wind noise

My dealer told me this but they still fitted a new one.
