Wind noise through wipers

Post by AlexS »

Hi all,

Just wondering if any other 928 owner has noticed a lot of wind noise coming from the wipers when driving at motorway speeds? I took mine for a run up the motorway yesterday for the first time, and was quite surprised by the amount of wind noise coming from that area, and wondered if it was something I need to look at or whether “They All Do That”? :lol:

Cheers!

That’s honestly first time I’ve ever heard a 928 owner mention it - these are pretty refined cars designed for sustained high speeds.

Do your records say whether windscreen ever replaced? I’m wondering if seal has been wrongly installed on lower edge.

I’ll go through the box file and check; I’ll add it to my list of things for attention too - thank you!
