Golf/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?

Is this possible on the Touareg? I had this turned on my 02 A4, really nice feature. I know you can close and open with the key in the door, would love to do it from the key.

View 8 RepliesPassat (B6) :: 2008 - Cabin Wind Noise / Pressure As Windows Open But They Are Not?
I have bought a new 2008 Passat about 4 months ago. about 2 months ago, this weird pressure could be felt from the inside similar to having the sunroof opened or the rear windows opened. I took it to my dealer twice and they say that they don't feel/hear anything. I went on a 200 mile trip and regretted taking the passat only 20 miles into it. the pressure/noise thing is unbearable! I seriously am thinking of crashing this thing and making my insurance switch cars. it was never like this when i got it. I would never buy a car like that! I checked to see if the tires were the problem but found nothing. i am so frustrated at the dealer and with this car that it just sits there not being driven because i can not stand driving it. Again, it makes a weird pressure/noise feeling as if the windows are opened but they aren't!
View 13 RepliesGolf VI R :: Wind Buffeting Noise On Driver Side
Had a chance to drive my R on very open highway today, and there was a noticeable wind buffeting sound on the driver's side (couldn't tell if the same thing was happening on the passenger side).
I don't remember hearing the same thing in my MkV GTI. Is there a known problem with the door seals or window seals in the R?
Lexus ES 2007-12 :: All Windows Down And Sunroof Open By Itself
A couple weeks ago I went home sick from work, doped up on medication. We ran through the drive through for dinner, and it was really cold out. Woke up in the morning to find ALL my windows down and the sunroof open.......and it snowed about 1/4 inch. My wife went with me and she was sober, and swears that all the windows were up when we went in the house. Now, I am at work and had a customer come in and tell me that my windows were down, and the sunroof was open half way. This time I KNOW FOR A FACT that they were up and the sunroof was closed when I parked it.

When the rear windows are open without any of the front windows open, the wind buffeting noise is deafening.
View 2 RepliesPassat (B6) :: Wind Buffeting / Noise And Vibration At Highway Speeds
I've been doing a lot of decently long highway trips this summer (5 hrs @ 75-80 MPH) and I've noticed that the 2008 VR6 Passat has some kind of pressure/wind noise/vibration above 75 MPH. It's hard to describe; it's like the noise you get when you open your sunroof too far and you get a harmonic noise from it. The sound seems to be coming from the upper rear of the car; behind the sunroof and almost from the rear glass.
All of the windows are up, the sunroof is closed and even the shade is closed to muffle the noise, yet it is there. However sometimes it isn't bad. If I have the radio on I don't notice it really, but when it is off it is very noticeable on certain stretches of highway. I'm having a hard time nailing it down as it is not entirely reproduceable. I don't know if it has to do with temperature, angle of the wind, climate control fan settings, what.
I did notice a few reviewers of the new CC complaining of a similar thing, which freaks me out that it is a design flaw - yet searching on here brings me up empty so I think it might be something I can fix. My first thought is that I have a tire slightly out of balance, yet the noise seems more wind related than tires.
Camry 2012+ :: Program FOB To Open Windows / Sunroof?
I have heard that there is a way to program the FOB so that when you hold down the UNLOCK key for a few seconds the windows and sunroof opens.
is there a way to program this ourselves? Or is this only available at the dealer, and if so, will there be a cost associated with it?

View 2 RepliesGolf/GTI VI :: Dash Rattle / Wind Buffeting Noise Around Driver Side Doors
So I had a persistent dash rattle that would mysteriously go away when my car was brought in for service. I took it in a 2nd time, again nothing. So I took the service adviser for a drive until it showed up... then it wouldn't stop.
Shop foreman drove it right after we got back and this time he heard it too... took 4 hours to re/re the dash trim and radio but they found some HVAC ducting was loose from the factory ( b4 work??) and rattling around. They put it back together and apparently put tape around the joints (like you would in your home - I guess from the factory the pipes just snap together). Car is much quieter now. Just hoping this issue doesn't come back in 4-5 years when the tape falls off? It also stopped an intermittent rattle coming from the right side of the dash.
There was also a wind buffeting noise around the drivers side doors. There is a TSB to address this now for 4-door cars. A minor adjustment to a seal and I was good to go, again much quieter. I'll have to see how it fairs at 130kph on the highway, but the buffeting I could already hear at 90kph is completely gone.
Lexus LS 2007+ :: 2012 LS460 - Auto Windows Down And Sunroof Open With Remote?
My IS has the feature where I can open all of the windows and the sunroof by holding the remote unlock button which has come in real handy during this extended heat wave in the Midwest. But, I can't find out whether or not this feature is on my 2012 LS 460.

When you use the key to lock the car door, you should be able to hold the key in the lock position on the driver's door and the car will close the windows and sunroof, right?
For some reason, this is not working on my car. The alarm sets and that's it..
Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Sunroof Wind Deflector Might Increase Wind Noise

I have a lot of wind noise in my 2 front windows when driving highway speeds, no water leaks. I cannot find where it is coming from either, I assume it is either air rushing over the mirrors or thin glass. Sometimes it is worse than others, not sure if cross winds etc. Is that common in 2009 Sonata. My old 2003 Malibu, much quieter but mirrors were slightly more rounded if I remember.
View 12 RepliesTouareg :: Sunroof Starts At Half Open - Is It Normal
When I turn the dial on my sunroof control just a click or two, the roof opens to a little more than half open. Basically, the roof has maybe 3 positions between 1/2 and all the way open despite the multitude of click positions on the dial. It's nowhere near precise. I'd like to be able to open it just a little sometimes (not tilt, open).
Is this just the way it is or will my VW dealer be able to adjust something?
