Hi all

I realise this isn't a common issue, as a lot of reviews (and people in general) have stated the Leon is very quiet while cruising.. however, I thought I'd check:

My car, above around 60mph, develops quite a lot of wind noise from what I assume is the seal at the top of the door. To me, it sounds like it's coming from the "top corner" - where the top of the door meets the B pillar. Inspecting this seal visually, it does look to me like it doesn't meet the door frame quite flush.

For reference, it's a 3-door SC model. Anyone else had issues with wind noise in this area, and if so, how was it cured?

Thanks!

Im having exactly the same issue as you! i have had it back to garage and they keeping taking sound clips of it to send to seat, as supposedly they can't adjust it without getting information from seat!

My nephew had the same problem with his SC. He took it back to the dealer, who test drove it and agreed there was a noise. The tech inspected the door seal and even though it looked ok he said it was the only possible cause. A new one was ordered and fitted a few days later. Problem solved!

Just the ticket! I'll probably get them to look when the car is in for its next service.
