Accent RB (2012+) :: Wind Noise From Sunroof While Traveling At 80 Kmh
I have a 2013 Accent GLS hatch. There were no GLS hatches within 1700 kms available for a test drive when I was shopping, so I never got to test the sunroof before purchasing. I have had the car 10 weeks, and am not impressed with the wind noise from the sunroof while traveling at 80 kmh. I know, going that fast there will be some noise, but my XG350 probably makes 20% of the amount of noise from the Accent. I find it rather annoying, and ususally just close the sunroof unless I'm in the city...
My question is, if we install one of these 2011+ Accent Sunroof Wind Deflector ? did it improve or worsen the wind noise? Did it affect the 'partially open' or 'fully open' positions or both?
On a side note, thinking about these 2012+ Accent 5 Door Smoke Tinted Window Visors as well, so I can crack the side window to eliminate the "helicopter effect" when the sunroof is fully opened.
Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Sunroof Wind Deflector Might Increase Wind Noise
My 2013 Sonata came with a sunroof wind deflector. I'm somewhat hesitant to install it, since it might increase wind noise. It also might affect MPG. I like the looks of it, at least the pics I've seen of it.
View 12 RepliesTouareg :: Door Seal Wind Noise And Mirror Knocking
Over the last 6 months I have had my car back to the dealer to look into wind noise and a knocking noise from the door mirror. At first they just kept saying they couldn't find anything wrong, then they said there was a fault report for the mirror and had the car in to get it fixed, but the noise is still there intermittently. After numerous returns for the wind noise I noticed that if I push on the door or the window it gets noticeably louder - the dealer took the car back in and said they adjusted the door but I still have both noises - they are intermittently better or worse. What the cause is - the dealer has suggested changing the door seal but wants me to pay for it and I am concerned I will end up paying out and still not get the problem fixed. As for the mirror I just don't know what to do....

I have been experiencing a terrible wind noise coming from the door seal, it is intolerable and I just can't believe it is normal. I can hear it coming from the passenger side as well, but not nearly as bad. If I press against the area while driving, it will stop. It occurs at any speed north of 60mph.
Here is a picture to illustrate where I am talking about. I can take closer shots, this was just a photo I already had on my computer.
Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Wind Noise From Sunroof
Last few weeks I've been getting a bit of a whine getting into car. I thought it was a wheel bearing but I've discovered its wind noise from the sun roof.
My question is is the glass roof easy to get out and is there a aftermarket seal available as i suspect oem one will be arm and leg.
Golf/GTI VI :: Sunroof Annoying Wind Noise Over 25?
When the sunroof is open all the way, as soon as I reach the speeds of over 25, there is this annoying Wind noise that kinda hurts the ears. It goes away if I crack a window open slightly. I've test driven other cars (bmw 3 series) and there was no wind noise. It's not a big problem. It's has probably has something to do with laws of physics?
View 9 RepliesHonda - Pilot :: Wind Noise From Closed Sunroof
I am considering purchasing a used 2005 Honda Pilot EX-L that has a sunroof. When I test drove it the sunroof sounded as though it was partially open even though it was closed. Opening and closing the sunroof did not solve the issue. Nor did cleaning out the sunroof tracks. Before committing to purchase this vehicle I would like to know if there is a way to fix the noise issue from the sunroof?

So I noticed I had some wind noise on the highway coming from my sunroof. It was actual wind coming through the dry rotted seals around the glass. Well I got really lucky and a truck kicked something up on the highway and it went right through the glass. Called the insurance company and since glass is covered free in Ma, they shipped an OEM sunroof to the local shop. Got it put in this morning, and it is all quiet again.
View 4 RepliesSonata NF (2006-10) :: Screeching Wind Noise After Closing Sunroof
Out of nowhere began the horrendous screeching wind noise after closing my sunroof during this morning's commute. The sunroof had been dead-quiet all the years I've owned the car. This was not a gradual event, but quite sudden, and occurred after the third closure within 20 minutes. I cycled the sunroof open and closed several times, but to no avail. After arriving at work, I inspected the channels for debris, the rubber seal for failure, and the general appearance and alignment of the glass to the opening. Everything appeared normal. The only thing that alleviated the noise was slightly opening the driver side window, but this in not an acceptable solution.
View 2 RepliesPrius (Gen 4) :: Sunroof Will Not Fully Close In Up And Down Mode And Causes Wind Noise
So there seems to be an issue with the sunroof already ( 2 weeks since ownership) . In UP/ DOWN mode it will not fully close and causes wind noise. With up down I'm referring to the tilt functionality. I don't get the message sunroof open when leaving vehicle however.
The work around is for me to open the sunroof in the horizontal mode and then close it again to get a proper seal and to eliminate wind noise. In the image you can see that the rear part of the moonroof sits lower than the metal roof....
Read the manual. performed reset. The reset made no difference. So basically to remedy the situation one either must open and close the sunroof or after closing it from tilt mode bump the button to make the moon roof rear part raise and become flush with the roof panel.
Accent MC (2006-11) :: Wind Noise Above 30 MPH
My 2009 Accent has been getting really noisy above 30 mph. The driver's side window no longer seals & at 70 mph you can't even hear the radio. Just a loud roar. The dealer said it's out of warranty (61,000+ miles) so there won't fix it. I tried putting a piece of thin plastic tube under the rubber seal to close the gap but it just raised the pitch of the noise. The problem goes away if I hold the wind lever down but once I let go, the window drops 1/4" or so & in comes the wind & noise. If I can fix this without disassembling the whole door I'd prefer that.

my 2002 Hyundai accent with 1.6 engine and the manual transmission has a problem in that where the axle shaft goes into the transmission is very loose. the problem is in the transmission, not the axel. Is there a bearing in the transmission for this. Or is there something else that could do it.
View 3 RepliesAccent RB (2012+) :: Wind Noise From Driver Side Upper Window Area
2012 Accent. I have a wind noise issue. I don't mean that it's just loud. The driver's side upper window area has a crazy noise. It's a high pitched (is there another kind?) whistle. It is very inconsistent. I can not give any precise circumstance under which it appears, but it is definitely speed related. It appears from about 65-70 mph. But only sometimes. It also seems more common with cross winds, but it's hard to say for sure. I can not for the life of me pinpoint the origin. It seems to be around head level on the driver's door.
View 3 RepliesGolf/GTI VI :: Wind Pressure / Buffeting When Sunroof Is Opened
I just bought a 2011 GTI with the Autobahn package. When I open the sunroof all the way there is a buffeting sound and pressure on my ears. I had a 2006 MK5 which had the same problem. I'm aware of only opening it partially, but I like it completely open. There really isn't a solution offered by VW except for the exterior sunroof visor. I tried this on my MK5 but it didn't work. I like the mesh pop up thing on the new Touareg. Is there anything like that out there?

I would like to know if any of you had issue with is spark cut. Last week my motor begin to do some noise around the timing chain cover (upper). I open the motor and my exhaust camshaft adjuster was defect ...I change it thinking it was the problem, but the noise still there. (i also change the tensioner bolt). It was not a big noise like when a slider is split in half or something like that.
I pull the transmission off today and saw some weird wear on the slider and tensioner but nothing broken. (i will post pics as soon as I can)
The car have 56k miles
Touareg :: Wind Buffeting When Driving With Sunroof Open And All Windows Completely Up
I get the worst wind buffeting (loud whooshing and terrible pressure) when driving with the sunroof open with all the windows completely up. And just yesterday I realized the roof opens up fully with some additional pressure (surprisingly hard pressure) after the lever is turned and I get the most unbelievable eardrum crushing pressure/ noise until I crack a window or two. I'm not kidding, its unbearable at pretty low speeds.
This seems like a serious design flaw (and should have been tested and corrected) not to mention extremely annoying as I can't use the sunroof without opening the windows.
Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Sunroof Not Closing Properly
Earlier today I went out to give a family friend a ride and as the temperature had climbed, elected to close the sunroof and windows and use the A/C. While out, I noticed an abnormal amount of wind noise coming from the sunroof and double-checked to make sure it was actually closed. It didn't budge when I pushed it towards the 'closed' position so I figured it was just my imagination.
Well cut to getting home about 20 minutes later and sure enough, the sunroof is ever so slightly down at the back, even when stopped in the 'closed' position. In order to get a proper seal, I have to tap the tilt switch up ever so briefly.
I'm hoping that the sunroof control unit has simply lost its bearings and needs to be reset and though I've got an appointment set up with my dealer for next Tuesday (the soonest they have available), I tried my own solution for the night. I put the roof in as close to the properly closed position as possible and disconnected the negative battery terminal. I plan on leaving it this way for at least 8 or 9 hours and shall report back.
