Wind Noise 2011 X3

Hi All

Wanted to see if anyone else has experienced increase wind noise in their X3? Over the past few weeks it's getting to the annoying point.

Have you guys taken into the shop? Was it resolved? If so, how?

It can be improved if the cause is the rubber scrapper at the bottom of the from windows.

I meant to type "front" windows.

If the cause is something else then I don't know what can be done as you need to track down the cause.

def front windows - front door area - do you think changing the foam around the door will make a difference?

All you can do is experiment. I would change anything yet but I would add to stuff like the foam if you feel that's where it's coming from. Fine some other foam you can put in place in strips. The whole door sealing arrangement is not great, it's not really sealed from the outside as the seals are more internal.
