Hi all,
I have a small but incessant wind noise in my 2008 s class when driving over about 65mph. It comes from the top rear corner of the drivers door, right next to my ear and sounds like a high pressure hissing. It really spoils what is otherwise a very serene motorway cruising experience and I'm keen to resolve it.
I've inspected the door seals, realigned them a little and ensured there's no gaps or faults but to no avail. An online search shows several others reporting the same problem.
I note that there was an official TSB which seems to cover this and points to sealing of the door mirror
But I can't find any specifics as to what needs sealing and where.
Is anyone aware of the details of the fix or who could help me get access to the details of the official TSB so I can see what needs to be done please? That way I won't need to pay hundreds of pounds for someone to undo a couple of screws and dab a blob of silicon somewhere..
thanks,
James
