Default Wind noise on the GS350

Hey All,

I noticed a number of occasions that I hear a whistling wind noise when driving. Sounds like from the A pillar or windows but can't make it out where. Not sure something is loose or that's how it is. Any ideas?

Possibly a moonroof seal. I replaced mine because of wind noise. Silent…

Some owners (actually, quite a few) have reported whistling noise around the a-pillar and mirror caused by PPF on the mirrors. Do your mirrors have film on them?

I have PPF on my side mirrors and noticed that's where most of the wind noise comes from (A pillar area) during highway speeds. I don't feel like ripping the PPF off to test it so I'm just gonna live with it - nothing the volume **** can't solve.

It's strange that PPF affects the wind noise on mine. It never made the noise prior to the film install. I noticed when I fold the mirrors in while driving the noise goes away. It's not constant on mine though, it comes and goes.
