exeterjeep Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 I had that on my evora S, but not noticed the same thing on my current evora. I put it down to the wing mirror. May be later cars are a different design??? May be totally wrong though.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdm2018 Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Is the actual window moving and not correctly in full up position ? I get a window rattle when I put the window down and then put it up a short time later When I get to slow down or stop at traffic lights I put window down fully and up fully and seems to cure it until next time ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruss Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 Check the external pillar trim hasn’t started to come adrift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be totally wrong though.... you may of cracked it !!! dont usually fold the mirrors in but do remember doing it a cpl weeks ago and so the prob has started since then, gently pushing the drivers side mirror creates alot of noise with nothing coming from the passenger side with the same movement so ive squirted some lube in between the bottom of the mirror housing and door bracket and noise stopped but will give it a test drive now 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 430 folds automatically on locking the car, just makes an annoying noise each time. These days leave the car unlocked when in the garage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAC63 Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 I had the three 7mm nuts which hold the pillar trim come loose, have you tried them ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM windymiller Posted April 23 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted April 23 nope 😐 what was the noise like ?? i have a wrapped roof it sounds like the edges are lifting like a paper / plastic scrunching sound which increases with speed (roof is still black so its not the wrap lifting lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM jep Posted April 23 Gold FFM Report Share Posted April 23 Those trim nuts do come loose, I think you access under the door seal rubber. I assume your window is sealing fully? Even 1mm drop will cause wind noise and they are prone to irregular operation. Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 If I was a betting man, I'd wager, as has been said, that it's the double sided foam tape that secures the A-pillar trim to the windscreen starting to fail. If you open the window a bit, does it stop? Also, if you get to three figure speeds (on track ha! ha!) does it stop? If so, you have your answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 If you delve/trawl through previous posts on this issue, you'll find out that to which I refereth. If you go on to MLOC's website, someone has put up a simple DIY fix for this. If I wasn't such a tech luddite, I'd post the link, but I'm sure you'll find it easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM windymiller Posted April 26 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted April 26 so i tried taping the a pillar to window screen gap up and no noise, peeled the tape off and ..... no noise ???? but then sussed the rubber seal under the trim (pictured) had been pushed right deep into the back of the a pillar and had virtually no adhesion, would that cause a noise ? so ive fixed it using hippo 3 clear (ct1 equivillant) and will see if it works but certainly would of been a water ingress point me thinks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM windymiller Posted May 2 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted May 2 so this is now fixed, seemingly the rubber being pushed right into the door gap allowed a wind noise to manifest itself now i just have the slight rattle on the exhaust to fix and jobs a good un !! 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
