Wind noise at highway speeds?
I have a whistling type noise at speeds above 60mph. Anybody else have it? Maybe it's due to the pano roof seam in the middle of the roof?

Not me, unless I'm playing my stereo too loud to notice!

Had the car up to 120 KPH at one point today. Pleased to report it was quiet and no whistling type noise at all. I could hear a bit of road noise from the Continental Sports Contact 2 tires, but no where as loud as those SO3s on my ex C320.

A couple of short excursions to 120KPH (74.4MPH) should be no problem. Pretty much laid back most of the time. All city/urban driving....no highway miles yet.

Have you noticed how much quicker rental cars are? LOL!

I have had this. Had to have the door seal replaced. It was worse in cold weather.

After that replacement, it is now OK.

Is there a TSB for this? Did the dealer have to go on the highway to determine the source?

Thanks.

The dealer had to have a few test drives, yes.
