Noisy windows or mirror

[robertb24]

I have an Altea TDi Sport and noticed when being a passenger in it that the passenger side window is really noise from the wind. I am not sure if its the window seal or the door mirror. Anyone had this problem and what did you do to fix it?

thanks

I have noticed the same thing on both sides. Not really sure is it the door, window or mirrors.

Do a search......

Lots of previous posts on wind noise. There is a seal kit for the mirrors for earlier Alteas (should be on later ones) - 55 reg could be missing the seals.

The SEAT Kit you require is part no. 5PO 857 939 A and to fit it you need to remove the complete mirrors on both sides of the car

As already pointed out if you do a search for "wind Noise" you will find the complete answer to your problem

It could also be the rubber seal at the top of the window. I have the same wind noise, and i found out it was the seal when the car wash kindly let me know about it

I have the same prob on drivers door on 06 plate.

Have assumed the kit must already be fitted on an 06 model so think it is something else. What speed does this start at - I believe the problem the kit was for started as low as about 40mph - mine doesn't kick in until later - around 60. Any ideas?

I assumed it was more Window than mirror related. What is in the kit and how much is it?

thanks

Not much in the kit - few bits of precut foam and costs about £1 - need the part number from post above and they will probably have to order it - fits easily (assuming some mechanical sympathy) if you follow instructions posted on forum in earlier threads.

Is it possible to either a) see if it is fitted b) see if this is what is causing the problem by using masking tape over a gap or something? If so where?

hi guys,

robint already gave the hint to do a search ....

this is the main thread: Wind noise from Driver's door?

As this ^^ was back in 2006 ... there has been an addition to the linked thread in german board, which shows some DIY-pictures of fitting the kit:

Thanks, I had read the thread, but was after newer info as it was so old, in particular have the mirrors been modified since the earlier problem or would it still affect an 06. Didn't know about the pics, which helps me see where to try tapeing up to see if it improves.
