    Windy window

    Hyundai Hyundai Advice Hyundai Elantra Hyundai Elantra Advice Hyundai Elantra 2001
    I BOUGHT a new Hyundai Elantra in 2001 and within a few days was aware of wind noise from the driver's-side window. I've taken it back to the dealer and the workshop staff admit there's a problem. It sounds as if the seal around the window is not doing its job, but they won't accept this as the cause. I'd be interested if anyone else has had the problem, and if so what they did to fix it.

    TRACING wind noise can be tricky because it can come from several sources. The door seal is an obvious one, but that could be eliminated by applying a strip of tape over the gap between the door and the body after the door has been closed. If the noise goes away, the seal could be the problem. If not, check around the rear-view mirrors. These are often a source of complaint. As cars become better built and more refined, some noises are eliminated, which means others that you didn't notice before become more obvious.
