I have noticed wind noise off my left ear. Upon examining the rubber seals I noticed that the driver's side seal on the trailing edge of the front window does not reach the front edge of the rear window. On the passenger side the gap is filled and there is no wind noise. Anybody else experience this?

 

Wind noise, at this point and time has been silent for me.

 

I got it, and i'm takin my car in 2morrow morning for seat memory controller and point out few other problems... just few minor problems including wind noise.

 

I might not have made myself clear as to what rubber moulding. With the doors closed, from the outside look at the gap between the front and rear door frame. On my car the gap is sealed on the passenger side but not the drivers side and that is where I hear the wind rush.

 

My gap btwn two doors is covered almost fully. But I still got the wind noise sometimes.


Acura says,

EXTERIOR (SIDEVIEW) MIRRORS

Mirror housing needs to be small and aerodynamic to reduce turbulence-without compromising mirror area. To reduce the housing size engineers devised a way to hold the mirror element from behind instead of at the sides, and carefully controlled the gap between the mirror element and housing to further reduce turbulence. Blue-tinted mirrors also reduce eyestrain in bright conditions.

Engineers also measured the airflow through the channel between the A-pillar and the mirror. By designing this channel in an expanding V-shape, the air actually decelerates (rather than accelerates) as it moves across the glass. This helps keep the air from tumbling across the side glass, reducing high- and mid-frequency noise.

Engineers also positioned the mirrors forward, away from the window glass, to further reduce wind noise while increasing the driver's side view. A reverse tilt function automatically tilts either the left or right mirror down when the TL transmission is shifted into Reverse. This is a driver-selectable function that may be turned on or off as desired.


I don't think Acura has done what they've promised at this design. IMO, this could be part of problems besides the seal issue.
