Ba Xr6T Front Drivers Door Noise

[cmarico]

The top of my drivers door is excessively noisy at speeds above 80kph. Both seals are in great condition.

Is there any way of getting the door to close 'tighter'?

Had a real close look at the seals? Does the door look shut and line up when you're looking from the outside?

Could say mine are in excellent condition but when you run your finger on it you can tell it is just slightly compressed and "flat" in the middle I would describe, as if the rubber is much thinner due to wear but it still visibly looks fine.

I've got a great way to fix almost any problem, it applies to at least the BA falcon, upgraded sound system recommended if excessive mechanical/wind noise leaks into cabin.

Here is how to fix just about any problem you'll have with a falcon:

Turn radio up.

Drive.

Still hear noise?

Turn radio up some more and get an AUX input or CD cranking for better quality.

*cannot guarantee radio will drown out the problem, generally when the problem noise gets louder than the radio(and turns into a vibration), I'm off to the mechanic.

Just had another look now, and they are fine. Ran my finger along them, no flat spots that I could feel.

Visibly the door looks ok for the panel, but the window section onwards appears to be slightly outwards.

Hory sh*t 4 years!

 

I've fixed this issue on a different car by bending the window frame in slightly.
