Hi All,

 

Wonder if anybody else has the similar problem and hopefully somebody has found a solution. Even since my car har been repainted I hear a almost constant whistling sound inside the cabin. Seems to come from the small back window...I have a Sedan 4 doors Octavia pre FL RS. I have Heard otther peopel have the same issue and this seems to be a so called "issue" with old Octis. it does not help that we have Cold Winters in Sweden and the rubber might expand and such but this happens in the summer aswell. It is not the door seals but it is more the rubber bits that keep the windows in Place.

 

I would appreciate if anybody kan help.

 

Thank you!

Hu Mike,

 

The car had a "cosmetic" paintover. I do not think they toook off the doors. It is not leaking hopefully.but the noise jsu goes away wuth very loud  music..... :(

 

I appreaciate the tip and will definitly check those seals. 

I appreciate it.

Thanxs 

Ron

Yes we had this on our white FL Octy. Horton's Skoda in Lincoln re-aligned the door's which seemed to do the trick. Although when you looked down the side of the car the front doors were in a bit & didn't line up, the lesser of 2 evils though as the whistling noise got on my nerves!

I've noticed this in my FL VRS in the last couple of months.  I'm not getting a whistling sound, instead I can just hear outside noise better than I should - it's like the front or back door/window is open ever so slightly.  I can't see anything obviously wrong with any of the seals, but one of my mates has an annoying habit of slamming the doors shut for no reason...

Make him walk.

Yeah I need to grow him a spine and tell him not to do it.  He's not malicious, just heavy handed ha.
