wind noise up B-pillar
Hey guys
I notice that my car i bought has a lot of wind noise 30miles and onwards, it's kind of where my ears are at. Its kind of frustrating and annoying because my girlfriends audi a4 is dead quiet at 60-70miles
Is there any fix I can do or can i adjust my door striker
Any tips are greatly appreciated, thank you!

As an experiment, try folding the mirrors and see if the noise changes. You may have to do this when stopped.

I know you said it's coming from the b-pillar but I have wind noise from the black plastic trim on the front of the a-pillar because it has come loose a little.
If you don't notice anything obvious, check trim/molding on the roof as well as the little covers for where the roof rack goes.
Check the seals around the doors too.

Is your outside weatherstripping aligned properly? If the front and rear doors don't align well (maybe the rear a touch more inboard than the front) you will get noise from there.
Any tears or obvious indents in the seals that could cause a leak?
With your front door closed and your rear door open you can see if the outer seal is properly sealed with the car. Of course, it all may look just fine as sometimes small, hard to find problems make big noises.
Good luck.
