Cool Wind Noise

Anyone know of a sealer of any type to eliminate wind noise at hwy speed. We love the G500, but also love road trips to the coast to give the G a workout on the beach, mountains etc...

Thanks

When you're pushing a vehicle with the aerodynamics of Vienna's Hoffburg palace at highway speeds, there's gonna be some wind noise.

FWIW, the W463 is an order of magnitude quieter than the W460's. My knowledge comes from having owned and driven a G continuously since 1984.

I have not found a way to eliminate wind noice in my G500, even the dealer cannot do it. If you find a way, let me know!

Did you notice the car is square? Seriously, short of buying earplugs you will hear wind noises. Ask to drive someone else's for comparison. If it turns out your G is a lot noiser check the door seals and door alignment at the seams.

Big box going 60-80mph is going to make some wind noise.

I had problems with wind noise and some water coming in through the front doors when power washing my G55. I told my dealer and they found that there is an additional rubber seal available from Mercedes which takes care of any alignment problems with the front doors. No more whistling wind noise and no water inside when I wash my car. Remember, the car is hand built so sometimes things don't fit together perfectly.

Jimmy,

Would you happen to have the part number for that seal? TIA!
