Default '13 GS wind noise, resolved

Hello all, i have read about wind noise, hot button for me. Was it addressed in the '13? Hiw about the '14?

I rented a Lacrosse a week, comfortable seats, quiet, blind spots.

Any feedback appreciated.

None in mine (even at 85).
I do have the cold weather package with the dual pane front windows.

I have a 15 and I yes it has been resolved. Heard they added these rubber folds into the panes to "break up " the noise. If you open your door you can see ridges on the rubber.

Again thanks. I am looking at AWD with double pane glass, maybe that helps as well.

I never sensed any wind noise with my '13, although the new '15 is generally a much quieter car.

Thats right the double pane...

the double pane is what makes it much quieter.

Wind noise coming from the sun roof. You can hear it at speed with the cover open.

I think all 13+ GS came with double pane windows. My Non F and Non Luxury GS came with them.

My 13 F sport has pretty bad wind noise coming from the drivers side window and sunroof. Any quick fixes or suggestions?
