Wind Noise

Hello Everyone.

My wife and I just purchased a new Passion and just love it.! We have a lot of
wind noise around the widows and top around 55-60 . I noticed that the car does not hat a visible seal around the front of the roof. It almost looks like you could put a sealer in the groove? Any feedback would be appreciated. Our
Dealership is 150 miles away. We are going to take it back to them.

Don't fill the "groove" at the top of the windshield it is there on all of the cars an on many other bonded glass cars as well. There is some wind noise at higher speed over the top of the roof. Some owners had problems with the roof of the coups not being bonded correctly and they caused some whistles.
enjoy karl

Is this a coupe or cabriolet?

My cabriolet doesn't suffer from excessive wind noise any more than other convertibles I've owned or driven, even those costing MUCH more.
