Wind Noise

Post by VW Leon »

Hi Folks,
Can you help me with my wind????
It seems that whenever i drive over about 40mph, especialy on the motorway i get excessive vibrating wind noise from the front of the car.
I have checked the grills and they are secure.
I have a Holdsworth Conversion pop top with all clips tight and in place.
The van is 1.9 petrol water cooled.

Is this normal, if so i need a louder sterio.

Also if any of you were going to Stanford hall on Sunday down the M6 i was the van between junction 3 and 2 with only three wheels...it would appear having fitted Fucha alloys that you should ensure they are checked for tight bolts every few weeks and if left standing. Is this correct?

Got to the show late but enjoyed it anyway. Now just need to repair the damage.

Thanks
Andy B

Hi Andy, just joined this forum & noticed your post, I also have a Holdsworth lift up roof, with a small space in front of the lift up bit ,
notice that when we fill it with bits, the noise is much reduced, but when empty the wind noise is really deafening, often thought of blanking it off somehow to make things quieter, but never got round to it. Pretty certain that's where the noise is. Pete.......
