GT53 wind noise

Hi all. Recently posted about my new 2022 GT53. I am experiencing a lot of wind/whistling noise from the drivers side that is very noticeable around 50 MPH. At first I thought a window was open! Dealer initially thought it was coming from a seal around the mirror and ordered a part which they replaced today without any improvement. They are now opening a case with mercedes engineering to figure out what to do. Anyone else have similar experience? A bit disappointing for a car at this price point in terms of quality control. The rest of the car is truly amazing so hoping for a fix!

As a follow up for others that may experience this issue... fully resolved with acoustic glass!

So you had the windshield replaced with acoustic glass? or just the driver side window?

well just added the acoustic comfort package to my build, hopefully just cuts down the wind noise and not the exhaust note!

Is the acoustic glass tinted a different color than non-acoustic from the factory? What was the cost of switching the front and passenger out?

I have the same problem with my 2022 AMG GT 53 as well and hate driving my car. Not only does the car noise annoy me and my wife the cost factor to get a car that makes noises like a cheep dodge. what a joke . we are so pissed off and they keep giving us the run a round. Any one know the number or complaint customer service department for AMG so we can complain. Help ???

same issue. Took it in twice. First time they said it’s normal. Second time acknowledged it wasn’t and fiddled with some door seals and said it was fixed - it wasn’t of course. This and the jerky shifts 1-4 are making the ownership not so enjoyable.

The issue is likely the triangle shaped things at the front of the front door window. They replaced mine and that pretty much took care of the issue.....I posted in another thread about this. Got rid of the car....too many problems. Back with BMW in a M8 Gran Coupe and, as expected, not one issue. Benzes suck at this point. Don't see myself going back....
