LBC Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I have an 07 EL and on windy days it sounds like I have the drivers window cracked. I noticed this in another EL I drove and a co-worker has the same problem with hers. Has anyone else noticed this? Have you talked to your dealer about the problem?

kenttrudiw Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Yes, we have it in our EB. We had the dealer check it and they said that it is a normal air flow noise. With this being said, the passager side is supper quite, so if it was normal it seems like both side would do it. Hopefully if enough people let them know about the wind noise, maybe the factory can address the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should feel better that it appears to be normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real_texan Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 (edited) Anyone get this resolved? There are a couple of TSB's for this issue. I had them performed but the wind noise is still horrible. Edited October 16, 2007 by real_texan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzforbrains Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 (edited) There are a couple of TSB's for this issue. I had them performed but the wind noise is still horrible. I think I have found the source of my wind noise. It seams the outer weatherstripping seal is not working how it should. Take a look at the drive door at this location. It seems like the top of the door does not seal against the frame tight enough. And, secondly, the channel that hold the strip on the frame is bent outward, as you can see in the first picture. Not good for wind noise. I taped the entire area and almost every seam on the driver door(had to get in the passenger side) and the noise was greatley reduced. While your driving and the sound it present, take your finger and break the seal of the inner weatherstripping and the door, is the noise you hear louder? Also, does your wind noise change depending on where you drive? The noise for me seems to be loudest during a slight to strong headwind, and pretty quiet when the air is still.

Expy Rick Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 My Lincoln dealer had an electronic device that checked for air leaks while the vehicle was parked. Very cool. Checked the drivers side weather striping and could tell it needed replacement. Much better now!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expy Rick Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 They replaced the whole big fat strip that goes around the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
