Anyone have an issue with going at higher speeds and getting a loud noise from the windshield? I'm trying to get the dealership to fix this, but they "aren't duplicating the problem"..... this is probably because they aren't going at least 80 :mad2:
I had a windshield noise problem with my 2006 R53 GP. At about 110 I would get a loud, kind of buzzing, noise. Finally figured out it was the windshield seal. I could press on the windshield at the top center near the mirror to make the noise stop. To resolve the problem, I pushed hard on the windshield from the inside and outside. That seemed to get it to seal. No problem since and it has been about 4 years and 60,000 miles since I resolved the problem with many bursts over 100.
Huh- it does sound like what I am experiencing... the buzzing noise. I know where it's coming from... the very top and on the right of the windshield. I just need the damn dealership to actually hear it and do something about it since it's stuck in their hands now :incazzato:
I could not get the dealership to do anything. I even provided the dealership with a video of a person on the Autobahn demonstrating the problem and pushing on the windshield to resolve. Since the dealer could not duplicate the problem at 65 MPH they would not do anything. I had to fix the problem myself.
Crap- I am thinking they are going to tell me the same thing. They even asked me to make a video of the problem. I'm hoping maybe I can take a tech on a test drive. If they are not driving, then maybe it's ok to go over 65? Ugh.
Yeah, I'm thinking another day of them saying they can't duplicate it and I'm gonna take the tech for a RIDE! :ihih::devil:
I could get my windshield to make noise based on overall air speed such as 70 MPH and 30 MPH wind for a combined air speed of 100. Thus, maybe you can get it to make noise at a reasonable speed on a windy day.
Nice job sausage fingers. :frown2: Just take the Tech out Friday and put a plastic bag on the passengers seat for when you make the Tech Poo himself.
Well I got Artemis back. Supposedly they found a service bulletin on the windshield so they fixed it. I will confirm when I drive to my mom's tomorrow. I'll have a nice, 3 hour drive out the turnpike to Lewisburg, PA. Plenty of time to hit 80+ :ihih:
