the level of noise has increased or did you just buy the car and notice that you get wind noise from the top?
my friend always used to tell me i had a window open when we'd be driving in my car ... it was just the top. it's a big hole, it makes noise (much like a convertible would).
if the noise level has increased, about the only thing i could think of would be the seal. is the top closing fully? __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles

There is going to be noticable noise at speeds over 50 - that's why the radio has a volume control! | | | | | 02-16-2006, 04:18 PM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Saint Paul, MN Posts: 3,244 |
Wind noise increases considerably with cross winds too. __________________
