    Does everyone eles get a little bit of wind noise when driving along at 100K. then when i flick the switch and bring my side mirrors in it goes away. I realise that having a car of its age rubbers and seals arent the same. Has anyone replaced rubbers around the door or window and fixed this. If so exactly which rubbers have u replaced can u point these out to be sure on the ttzed website .. And u know when u close the door u might hear a little bit of a window rattle . the sound u dont hear in a new car instead u get a nice solid doof when u close , again has anyone fixed this and with which exactly part have u used . Please point out on ttzed site so ive got the exact ones . Cheers . Would be nothing worse than I think this one will fix the problem and nope ... Thanks .. I like good sound , Good exaust note .. but rattles or wind noise shit me ..
    Thanks .

    I think there might be a few tech articles you may want to skim over.

    In particular this one

    I think it might just be something you have to deal with

    in a fifteen year old car. One thing that helped eliminate some of the squeaks in my car was just checking all the trim pieces in the car were positioned and screwed in properly. If youre car's pretty original and not fiddled with as much as mine that probably wont be as big an issue, but it certainly made things quieter for me.

    Perfect just found that article - thanks for your reply

    Does anyone also get the wind noise with there side mirrors that they can hear ... will a new rubber seal right around the door fix this ?

    What timing

    Just yesterday I had had enough of the wind noise coming from drivers side behind the mirror. If I pushed on the rubber whilst driving the noice stopped so I took the plastic cover off and jammed a folded piece of cardboard in there to push out the rubber a little. All fixed, no more noise.

    I found

    that the wind noise is worse the more humid it is. ie. When it's foggy it'll be really bad, when it's dry and sunny you don't get it. So, build a weather machine, or get used to it.

    If these are the only problems you have with your Zed, consider yourself lucky.
