Wind noise on the driver and passenger side when you get higher speeds?

[Scoozy]

Hello,

Just be curious if anyone has the same "problem" on their MG4, when I drive more than 80 km/h, it's like the window is not completely closed and I hear some wind noise... Is there a well-known fix @ the dealer for this situation?

It comes from the small quarter light, mine does it too, dealer not very interested. Can't be heard if the radio is on but that's not the point is it?

It is characteristic of the car as has been said.

You could try fitting wind deflectors but they will obviously add drag.

Correct, maybe they can put a sort of silicone kit to solve this problem? Will pass @ the dealer next week to listen what they have to tell about it

My bad - I misread the original post and thought you meant with the window open.

Yes, this is a fault, the quarterlights need to be properly sealed.

I stuck a 3M tape around that small window and no noise. Dealer was not interested in my case too.

A new quarter light has arrived having mentioned this to the dealer. Will be fitted soon so hopefully will fix this. Anything over 30 mph and the wind noise is quite loud.

You have a picture with the tape on please ?

Yes ours has it, common fault - badly steams up too. Hope you have better luck getting it booked into the MG garage than we have.

I've had this issue ever since I got my Trophy. The dealer is kinda interested in it but, they don't believe me. They've asked me to take the service manager out for a drive. @Munchkin383738 have you got a photo of the tape solution? I'm VERY interested as I'm currently listening to audio books while driving so I can't drown it out with music and it's driving me nuts.

I will get it as soon as it stops raining. I used the 3M tape that doesn't leave residue. So if I ever get a dealer to fix it I can remove the tape easily and leave no marks.

Tape ordered ?

I raised this when I ordered the car and was told it's just due to the design of the car. No noise on the passenger side though. I took it into the dealer and they replaced a faulty seal but the wind noise is still there. Going back in next week as it's pretty annoying on a long drive. I'm going to try the tape mod to see if that proves it's that window. Cheer @Munchkin383738

Hi All
I have had my MG4 for about 4 months.
I have probably got the same wind noise issue reported here with the driver's door quarter-light (because it isn't sealing properly). However, mine manifests as a whistle starting at 45 km/h and continuing up until about 65 km/h. It is quite faint but super annoying. Above that road noise seems to drown it out. There is no whistle from the passenger side door.
I took it to the local service provider (Giltrap MG, Auckland) yesterday. They don't think it is a real problem. And say that MG has no 'service bulletin' that has a fix for this issue. Seems like they won't touch the issue if not directly authorised by MG.
I will try the tape trick to see if I can prove, at least to me, that the seal is the problem.
However, this is unlikely to sway the service provider. Does anyone have some information that I can use to show that MG is aware of the problem and there is indeed a fix?

thanks in advance

PS other than this the car is going great.

I noticed a noise this weekend which I believe is aero related. Comes from front of car. Starts at around 40mph to around 55mph. Key thing is it is only present when the AC is off and absent when AC on. I drove around 50mph and could reliably affect the noise by switching AC, taking a few seconds to respond so I guess that a flap is changing position. The noise is very faint and high pitched, bearable although a little annoying!
Car is a gen 2 SE LR.

Have had the same for a while now, was not there from new. I don't always have the AC on, so will give this a try and see what happens!

 

[Ian Key]

The source of the noise could be the active vents at the front of the car. They open when the AC is on and close when it's off..

 

[L0rdMike]

How common is this as my xpower has massive mounts of noise coming from the front and improves 90% but still whistles with the aircon on.

This there a fuse for the active front vents so I can keep them open with the aircon off?

Hi all-
Another with the same problem in a STD 24. An annoying wind noise, coming, it seems, from the left window or from the front.

Any solution that the dealer can provide? has anyone tried any of the sealing strips for window, dashboard front or hood sold on Aliexpress?

Thanks!
