Hi All,

I am looking for some advice. I have owned my 997 since this past May. I am experiencing some wind noise on the drivers side top corner, where the drivers window meets the drivers side rear window.
I see how to adjust the window up and down via the adjustment screw under the door (last access hole towards end of door)

Is there a way to adjust the window towards the seal?

Thanks!

 

I would say they all do that beyond a certain speed.....

This is not a Lexus or a Mercedes. Roll the window down, you wont hear it ;-)

There is another access hole on the underside of the door where you can adjust the window inward or outwards. I went down this rabbit hole with my own car and ended up replacing all of the window and mirror seals, which solved the issue.

 

Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. Which hole in the bottom is the one I need? Going from outside the door to the inside.
Thanks again!

 

If I remember correctly the one that is more towards the middle of the door

 

I would keep looking into it until you do not have the noise. I did a drive over summer in the middle of the night where I drove on surface streets, then in highway traffic, then on a deserted highway. I ranged 1mph-150mph on the trip. 0 abnormal wind noise. I even had sustained periods of 120mph cruising. ...just as a disclaimer, this was middle of the night emergency driving but nevertheless, the car was rock solid but I don't want people to think I think this is cool or anything.

 

Replace your door seals. At minimum the drivers side. After 14yrs mine are a bit windy sounding too, look whitish and are not really supple. I started to rehab them, and devote time but not what I want to f with. I’d rather work on the engine. Same story with my rear window outer rubber mounts, they look terrible and should be replaced. Door seals are a snap. Not much money and can be done at home fairly quickly. Mine will be replaced very soon.

 

early on with the 997s we had an issue with the mirrors. They can be somewhat disassembled and reassembled with some G# Silicon to eliminate the noise.

 

Please do tell! Disassemble from inside?

 

Does anyone have the part number for the drivers side seal? I need the whole door seal that surrounds the whole door. 997.1
