Has anyone experienced a loud wind noise coming from the passenger A-pillar on the highway? It only happens going over 80....and it doesn't happens constantly - but when it does...its loud!

I checked the seal with the windshield and everything seems fine....is there anything else I should be checking?

Thanks in advance,

Make sure the three plastic "rivets" are in place. They're located on the inside of the A pillar. I removed mine a few weeks ago to remove the A pillar cover. When I reinstalled the cover, I drove around without the rivets in place. Sounded like the windshield was coming out! Anyway, that would be the place that I would look at. You may need to replace one or some of the rivets if they have been removed or damaged.

I have the same wind noise problem with my '01 RR, not sure if it is the same setup. I haven't removed my pillar, and this is a pretty low volume sound - hard to hear if the radio is on.

You can use duct-tape to try to isolate where the noise is coming from.

I see alot of passenger doors that are missaligned. This causes a gap at the front of the door at the top of the window frame. Might be your issue...
