Evening all, I’ve searched and searched and can’t find the answer to my little quandary. My driver side rear door suffers from wind noise and it annoying, not only to me in the drivers seat but anybody sat in the back next to the door. It’s a constant regardless of speed. I’ve had a look at both the on body seal and door seal and can’t seem to see any visual damage. I tried a smothering of petroleum jelly to the door seal and that hasn’t made an difference.
Anybody else had the same issue?

Thanks in advance


Dave

This happened with my 2012 car. It was cured by the dealer under warranty, either by fitting a new door seal or by repositioning the existing one. The seal on the other side leaked (water into car) and that was also cured under warranty, I think in that case the seal was repositioned. Only Range Rovers since 1988

On my car (same model as yours) the plastic cover between the edge of the windscreen and the door came unclipped and whistled in the wind. Just pushed back on, problem solved.

just an idea, mine suffers from a bad whistle on occasion, and its the air con controls not opening any vents and the air forcing past them. If its whistling, try manually selecting up, down, and facia on the ac controls, if it stops it then you have your culprit. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Thanks for all the replies guys - you’ve given me a few different scenario’s to try out at the weekend. I’ll report back next week.

I had a similar issue on my Jeep, I used duct tape to seal off external areas one at a time, reducing the amount of tape until I found the exact location on the outside that was allowing the air in.

One thing to bear in mind, is that the air could get in to a "channel" anywhere and be creating the noise in an entirely different location to where it penetrates the outer-shell and seals. However, if you locate and seal the source, this should solve it. Not as tricky as finding a leak on the deck of a boat, but a similar challenge.

I just need a spare 1/2 hr to go and fetch it out of the garage and start investigating.

Hi Davlyn,

Curious what the cause of the noise was, and how you solved it.

I found the best way to fix was just to turn up the stereo!

I take it you have a Similar problem?

Yep, still cannot find the root cause. Yesterday I reset the sunroof which was not closing 100% (using the information from another thread of this great forum), which significantly reduced the noise in the cabin. But I still hear some wind noise near the upper side of the RH from door. On some roads the RH front tire also seems to make noise, where the RH door seems to be ajar, but it isn't. I drive a LHD model so while driving it is difficult to locate the source of the noise.

I will continue my investigation. 2012 RR Vogue 4.4 TDV8 Sumatra Black

theres an old thread re water getting in on the rear doors and that was solved by using a 2x4 piece of wood..

your problem might relate to the same ..
