Door Seals & Weatherstripping - Noises & Vibration Symptoms
Common symptoms and diagnostic guides.
Door frame gap hiss in wind
Wind hissing or whistling at the door frame at speed is usually caused by air escaping through gaps in the door seals or weatherstripping, reducing cabin quietness and comfort.
Door gap whistle at speed
A whistling wind noise from a door gap at speed is usually caused by turbulent airflow through imperfect seals or gaps in the door/weatherstripping, leading to driver distraction and reduced cabin comfort.
Door groove hiss
A hissing or wind-like noise at the car door groove is usually due to air leaks from worn or misaligned door seals allowing wind noise into the cabin.
Door pocket hiss
A hissing noise near the door pocket is usually caused by air entering through worn seals, misaligned door panels, or gaps around weatherstripping, especially at speed.
Wind noise around back doors loud
Loud wind noise around the back doors is usually caused by air leaks due to worn or misaligned seals/weatherstripping or aerodynamics, especially at higher speeds. Fixing or replacing door seals and ensuring proper alignment often resolves the issue.
