Wind noise passenger side Granturismo

[EXCF350]

When driving on a windy day and with a cross wind, I'm getting a loud wind noise coming from the area of the passenger wing mirror or air vents - I can't pinpoint the source any better than that. It sounds like the window is open except it isn't. The odd thing is it never happens on the drivers side.

Does anyone know what the cause can be?

Could be the mirror seal, check the rubber seal for cracks..??

Ferrari 466 suffer this too...miss alignment of the glass.

Do you mean door window glass?

 

[safrane]

Yes...big heavy door drops on hinges.

mine does the same, I've booked the dealer for the end of next week to solve this issue. In my car the noise comes from the back side of the passenger door-window (probably it's not perfectly in contact with the backside rubber when the door is closed). They say they will improve the situation but difficult to solve 100%...let's see what happens. Most important they'll do the job under warranty, so no expenses for me and free replacement car to go back home.

It can be a few things but on mine it was a loose seal in the wing mirror itself.

on mine the noise comes from the backside of the window, the area close to the mirror is silent. I start hearing it over 120km/h, and it's much more evident when driving on very low temperatures (I assume the sealing rubber gets harder)

I have this on my Stradale, eventually I managed to track it down to the seal between the mirror and the glass, part of it had folded in on itself. Used a fine tip screwdriver to flip it back out and it's been fine ever since - until I put the window down and it reverts to turning in on itself. Figure that if I persevere, and keeping flipping it back out it will eventually remember where it's supposed to be.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I've checked all the seals including the one that goes all down the front edge of the door and cannot find anything that is obviously wrong. It's due an MOT soon so I'll get the dealer to look at it since it's still under warranty.

I had wind noise with my QP, it was caused by a missing foam insert in this cavity.
