|  Wind noise at 60+ Bugging me!!! No, not from but the Octy. I have noticed that especially on motorways at 60+ mph there is considerable wind noise from the front of the car. When driving, it sounds like its coming from the passenger wiper, but when i move (turn on) the wipers the noise continues. I can't put my finger on it, but it is starting to get on my tits. Help

| Octavias are well known for their wind noise. Many of the reviews mention this.

| Octy II? If it is, wasn't there a dealer mod to do something about wind noise (though i thought it was generated by the rear quarterlights.....) Another cultprit are the door mirrors. And if it's an Octy II, wasn't there something about the std "aero" wipers being a PITA for excess noise? Sure someone on here made them put "normal" wipers on their car.........

| Had similar problem on mine but from the drivers side and it's into the local dealer tomorrow to have a piece of plastic stuck back down again. Fingers crossed it'll fix it. Have a look at this, it may help..... http://www.briskoda.net/forums/showthread.php?t=32454

| The wind noise is still there but it has changed (not as frequent, has to be really windy and it gives off a different note/tone). So I'm hoping that all it needs for the trim to be secured (stuck) down and that it'll stop completely.
