Wind noises can fool you, they can enter at one point and you might hear it at another, but if the foam insert is there you can adjust the door by simply grabbing the top of the window frame and pulling it as hard as you can towards the car, its primative but it works.

I'll be interested how all this turns out. I've noticed wind noise towards the toprear of my driver's front window since I bought the car two years (and 62k) miles ago. I think it's just not pressing against the top seal enough. I was going to try and finda thin felt seal and glue it into that corner, then see if the window compresses it and the noise goes away. I've been traveling every week and have not had time to get around to it.

So I think I fixed my issue, I found it on Audi world but i forgot to get the link up, it was different fix from what the tech article on there. The guy put the same kind of tubing in between the vinyl on the inside of the door at the top, (in that little valley)so I did that with the tubing left over from my fish tank and man its really quit now, i mean its still slightly there but i think that is my ear wanted to hear something, its nothing like it was, i just put about a foot long tubing in there...it seems to work! I am trying to find that article on Audi world to post it...

with a drag coefficient of less than 0.28 anything will make that noise so consider this

yeah, never had those wind deflectors before, what is a drag coefficient of less than 0.28 mean?

put it this way ( open your windows ) then feel the resistance and the noise, the drag coefficient is tested In a wind tunnel so really means nothing unless your on the the track and speed is the point

SLINEA6 - Thanks for the tech article. I'm going to try the airhose trick this weekend. I just hope my goldfish doesn't suffocate.
