I believe this has been covered b4, but I cannot find any "how-to's" or relevant pictures. My pre-fl Octy hatch suffers from terrible wind noise above 65mph from the rear passenger side door-the leading edge of the quarter light window. I have tried various adjustments-does it need the base of the upright frame moved inward/outward, or forward/backward?? (I.E. towards the interior of the car or towards the front wheels?) Can anyone help?

TIA!

Lower the relevant window.

Get something a few mm thick that will fit in the window guide at the quarterlight division post - An old number plate or coaster is about the right thickness.

Hit with hammer.

I went for 2 firm-ish hits at the top, middle and bottom, pushing the post towards the rear of the car.

Nice 1.Thanks. Will try ASAP. Did it work for you?

Automotive silicone sealant.Worked perfectly on my car.

Yeah, it just sounds like a seal has gone or needs "popping" back in. Try tapping it like suggested with a wide, thin section of soft material like plastic, or the sealer will do the same trick.

Yay!! Job done!! :yes: (Up to 70mph anyway;haven't been on a motorway yet. Oh, whoops.........err, the industrial estate was deserted, OK?!!)

Thank you, Blank-seems like it's sorted.

But now I can hear the "sawtoothed" back tyre better... & the missus talking :p but at least the little fella can sleep now
