So we have been going through a process of eliminating the wind noise today coming from our 79 with 10,000km. during the week I put a post out regarding the roof rack wind noise from the rhino rack platform to see if other people had issues . Today I removed the rack and still getting the wind noise coming in I believe near the A pillar. Without doubt I’ll be the 1st to agree the 79 isn’t the most aerodynamic car with flat windscreen, snorkel big mirrors ect, and have read all the reviews on 79’s as the tend to have a bit of wind noise. but did have it fully sound detened to help. One of my door seals on the driver side looks a little squashed on the corner but the wind swooshing noise is from both sides. Just asking any other 79 owners about the wind noise in their cab at from around 70+km not sure if it is the Msa mirrors, door seals or if it’s just part and parcel of the brick shaped car. Love to hear if it’s standard on all 79’s as a mate with a single cab doesn’t seem to have issues, I also had the windscreen replaced at 5000km due to a crack with a non genuine. I have read if the polyurethane has sealed properly the swooshing noise will come in. I have taped over the seal to see if it is not sealing properly but still seems to come in. Really just wanted to see if other owners have the same wind turbulence noise.
