Just purchased a 06 MDX. Seems to be a lot of road noise around the drivers door area? Is there a way to check the door and or adjust? Or should I be looking for something else? Thanks

Check the rubber around the door edges.

This is a bit vague...can we get some more details?

Speeds? Bumps? Etc?

A pillar wind noise or worn gaskets. A little window rubber weather seal with a P profile helps reduce the noise, but not completely. I also stuffed a piece of foam at the base of the a pillar. With the door open you can see the area just deep to the side mirrors. A little volume adjustment on the radio also helps.

I just bought a 05 MDX and hear some a pillar noise at 60mph or higher... I will try the foam thing .... what about those wind deflectors? might they help?

Wind deflector wouldnt make a difference.

Where do you put this seal exactly, and where did you get the seal?
I tried the foam thing and it might have helped just a touch...but if at all, not much.

I purchased the rubber weather seal from Lowes. The seal is placed on the door and the chassis. On the door place a strip starting from the door tweeter and follow to the bottom of the door. A short piece is to be placed on the top forward angle of the door jamb so that it sits between the two factory strips. You can also place a piece of foam on the inside area of the fender the leads into the A pillar (open hood to access the area near the hood hinges). I will try to post a picture or two...

Acura's are quiet. Something got tweeked or the gaskets have failed.

Yeah that passengers side does not have this noise... I had acura look at it (they had other stuff to do on my car) and they reported 'no problem'...predictable as it's not a huge noise, but it's annoying with the stereo off for sure.

Any photos any of you have would be great, thanks.... I'll try and get that weather seal, thanks!
