My passengers window tends to whistle a lot- especially over a ton! But even at lower speeds it quite noticable. It seems like it could be the rubber strip on the hood not fitting tightly - anyone else have this problem or is it a case of "they all do that!".

By the way this a not a winge - I still love the car

Mine used to do this, it can be adjusted, but its a fiddly job apparently.

Dealer should sort you.

My driver's window used to whistle...brought my Chim to the specialist who fixed it. Something to do with repositioning the internal electric window thingy to meet the roof seal. No problems now - at any speed

Whatever !

My window gap was fixed by the dealer, but now it rattles constantly at any speed.... it's so annoying! I've been driving with the driver window down in the freezing cold so it doesn't make noise!

I think it's hitting against that metal strip next to it. Any ideas what I can do to stop it?

What window gap - I thought this was an open top car .

I found that the positioning of the solid part laterally could cause a whistle, and also let in water. If I moved it another 2-3mm towards the whistling window the whistling stopped and no water came in .

May not be the same problem but worth a try .
