Wind Noise

Has anyone had issues with increased wind noise at speed?
70 on up.
I've never noticed any but now do.
My service guy says there isn't really any window adjustment for that but he can look at it.
They always seem to make things worse so I'm hesistant.

Not so much as to be distracted. Mine is pretty tight. Regularly run sustained 120mph runs and sure it is loud but there is no speed that the sound increases dramaticaly - it is fairly linear.

Thanks for the heads up, zdr2k!
I checked near the mirrors on both sides and found a 4 inch split thru the seal on the passenger side.
That could be it.

Steve...I never hear it at High speeds... 100 - 175 !

It is great but - the dollar is tanking and there does not seem to be an end in sight. I'm paying the same as most in the US for gas but the Germans are taking it hard. I guess I can't complain...doing 150mph is rare here but when you can...

I get tunnel vision over 150 or so. Eyes can't focus at objects 1/4 mile away. Slow sweepers are g force considerations. I'm never thinking about noise - just the A rush.
