Wind noise

[Tman]

My car gets pretty noisy when going over 100 (on a track obviously - most of the wind noise is coming from the drivers side window and the rear windscreen. I asked a dealer if it needed new seals but they said 'No - all Tuscans are like that...' - is this really the case or is there anything I can do to reduce the noise?

Well it's a solution!!!

Maybe the drivers door pin has moved check the door gap all round it might need moving. Mine was like it!
Opening the window just a tad also made the "whistle" go away.

Same here re the noise, and tht is even after changing all of the seals! Find it comes in around the small of my back through the side vents in the seat, both drivers and passenger and can get pretty cold!

I have the same problem! And funnily enough I was just going to put a similar post on here.

The doors are slightly furrowed behind the windscreen on the Tuscan so I think this may contribute to the wind buffeting somewhat! I did find that selaing the edges of the rear windscreen with tape did help reduce that noise and the usual squeaking though!

I understand the later rear screens are larger and therefore seal on the rubbers better, but I'm not sure when they changed.

On trackdays, I remove the roof and rear window and leave them in the pits with all the other gubbins. That way, I don't notice any wind noise.
Besides, driving with the roof on and wearing a helmet makes me have to scrunch myself down to prevent clonking the roof with the helmet (Oooerr, missus).
Obviously, if you're bothered by wind noise on de-restricted B roads on rainy days with the roof on and rear window installed whilst driving a fabulous motor car, you're just being picky and should concentrate on the matter in hand.

Pete - does this still happen even when you remove the cushion from the drivers seat? Interested to know given a plan for track day this year.
