Does anyone else have an annoying wind noise on the front passenger side when you go above 50mph? I assumed if it's not noisy on the drivers side it shouldn't be on the other side. The dealer says all DS3s are like that and therefore it can't be fixed. Please let me know if you've got the same problem.

I'm probably stating the obvious, but have you checked that the window is fully up, might be worth lowering and raising it a couple of times. Also worth giving the door seals a look over, make sure they're not damaged.DS3 Racing, also available in White!!!

If you know a friendly local garage not sure if a petrol forecourt would do use a airline round the door mirror and windscreen trims that may be raised with someone sitting in the car see if you can here any wind noise from inside , only other way is start masking various parts of the door take it down the road see if it stops2012 Dstyle+ 1.6 eHDI 90 Airdreamsigpic

Check the mirror on that side as well, see if the casing is fitted correctly.
A suggestion from our workshop is to parcel tape the door seal on the outside around the window and see if the noise stops, if so then remove a bit of tape at a time until the noise reappears, then you will know where the offend 'hole' is....I should never have doubted the Lord of Bacon!!

I work as a door setter at the vauxhall van plant and usually if it is not the door seal try looking at the flushness between the fender and door gap if the fender is inboard to the door this will cause wind problems, best to have the fender slightly proud to the door anyway, hope this helps.
