This query probably relates to all models of the P5 range. The reference is to a coupe but sedans may have similar issues in relation to wind noise.
Has anyone noticed the amount of wind noise that seems to emanate from the front quarter vents when driving at anything over 100 kph? (Vent windows are closed)
If so where/how do you believe the noise is created and what sort of remedies are possible to eradicate it. E.g. An accessory/custom designed deflector for the leading edge of the windscreen?
All suggestions and ideas welcome.

All the door seals have been replaced/refurbished except for the quarter vents but I don't know if it's any worse or better than other P5's as I haven't been in another one for years. In fact, since replacing the front passenger door seal I seem to have created a speed related whistle from that door. This whistle disappears when I close the driver window completely!Could be useful as a speed indicator if the speedo fails! I think several things don't help: 1) Old worn out seals. 2) Replacement rubber seals which are too hard 3) The design of the car which isn't based on modern approaches to aerodynamics. 4) Doors out of alignment particularly on the leading edge. But, I do remember an article in Take Five from maybe 20 years ago where a Coupe was subjected to an airflow test and it did quite well. I think a deflector would be a very good idea if one could be made or obtained. |
