Wind noise?

Thank you all for the comments and suggestions! I agree that the car is rather noisy with tire and road noise but it is part of the driving experience! However, the wind noise / whistling is very irritating and I did not fully appreciate that it is such a prevalent problem. Unfortunately most dealerships appear to be unaware of this issue and Porsche is not willing to acknowledge it is a problem. I suppose in the absence of replacing window gaskets at the dealership a wind diffuser is the best option.

The wind diffusers are not intended to address wind noise but rather wind buffeting when one window is down. Two separate things, I doubt you'll notice any difference in wind noise with them. If anything they'll make that worse because they disrupt the windflow around the side of the car. Unless of course by disrupting they direct air away from the source of your wind noise. I guess that's always possible.

Did anyone resolve the wind whistling (not wind buffeting) noise in their car in the end?
Car has been with OPC for 2 weeks and they didn’t find a solution, but instead, scratched my seats… someone must’ve had keys clipped on when they got in… they’re now looking to re-touch the scratch, what a joke.
