Default Wind Noise Driver Side

Just picked up NX today and immediately noticed driver side wind noise almost like window not shut all the way.

Anyone else notice this problem?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Congrats on your NX!

I noticed the NX allows slightly more wind noise than the RX from the side glass and that's because it's not the Lamisafe sound-reducing glass but Temperlite. Though I still would not consider the slight wind noise to be intrusive or the equivalent of a window slightly lowered.

I know with a couple folks in the IS forum, incredibly, the fact that they had paint protection film on their mirrors was the cause of some wind noise. It's a long shot and may not even be your case...

Thanks for the reply. I drove it off the lot and immediately noticed it, so I wasn't sure if it was related to the door seal problems the others mentioned. I drove other NX before and never noticed it. Maybe next time at the dealer I will have them check it out or see if anyone else have the same complaint:

^^^Sometimes this type of issue is hard to diagnose and could very well be a seal that is off by fractions. Check your passenger door carefully and take note of any seal differences. Also, ask to compare with another NX in a test drive if necessary.

Good luck!

This is likely a window or door seal problem. Have a tech from the service department go for a drive with you when you drop it off, and make sure they understand what you are hearing.
