Well if it's any consolation, the wind noise doesn't really bother me in my Stilo until I get over 180mph, then it's a little noisy!

Wow did you use a defibrillator to raise this post from the dead?

It was buried over 3 years ago!

Stop stirring

Far better to continue an old thread than mindlessly start a new one as many do

 

[puntoinfronto]

well wind from 3 years ago is you may find the same wind as today the wind today has not been modified in any way yet it is indeed the same wind as the past...and me owning a stilo indicates the same problems with wind as it must be the stilo as one likes not beans....LOL....ok i dug it up ...but 3 years on...and still the same problems ...

 

[LoBsTeR]

I would say that if the wind noise was coming from near the wing mirror, then perhaps the cowling that the mirror mount is fixed to is venting somewhere. If not seated properly, at over 100mph these can actually spring open on some cars.

Worth taking at a look at see if the gasket hasn't slipped behind and that it is secure.

Oh and sorry for the defib joke

well it is very close to my right ear and i can not see anything on the door glass seals that may be causing this it is best described as a constant light wind noise dam annoying if the radio is not on.. but will have a look at mirror housing though ..cheers

There's a couple of threads on here which cover this problem (I'm sure you'll find it with another good use of Search)
