I taped the border of all windows and the noise reduced about 60%. I'll go to my dealer.

"Did you try the tape test?" I'll try the tape test now. I'll tape all windows. The first time only i tape the driver window and the wind noise was there, because i've the noise in the passenger side too. Today it is rain in Madrid, but when I will try i'll post the results. Thanks

Which are the other "couple of things"? I ask to you, because my dealer is very quickly solving my problem. We don't know why you get this noise, it must be caused by the big size of the mirrors and the problem is solved. They don't bother for this problem. I know more persons with this problem an of of them get the same answer to the problem. In Madrid, there are 4 dealers, and 3 of them are the same. I've tried all of them with the same answer. They said that Lexus Spain don't know the origin of this problem, and i would like to find it. The noise is very annoying when you drive more than 50 kilometers in highway at 120 kn/h. Thanks

After retouching you can try this prodcut http://www.langka.com/complete-paint-chip-...r-kit-p-30.html. It is less aggresive that grit. If you use grit i'd recommed you 4000 grit sand paper.

yeah, i know, but my car has "b pillar wind nose" problem, and i think that is due to air goes through this trim, cause water goes through air goes through easily inside the car and mekes the annoying noise when you drive at 120 km/h or up. It was only a proof for b pillar wind noise problem.

I have a problem, and i don't know if someone has this problem too and if it is solved. When i wash my car, i use a "karcher" (pressurized water). If i put the tip of my hose near the corner of the door i would get water through the weathre strip inside my car. My dealer has changed the 4 wheather strip of the windows at door, but i have the same problem. In the rear doors the problem is worse, the rear seat get a lot of water drops (i don't have photo of this). Does someone how can i solve it? I think that this problem causes the B pillar wind noise, becuase if the presurized water goes through the weather strip, the air could goes through more easy when i drive at 120km/h or more. What do you think? put the tip of the hose on the glass not in the paint. Water goes in through the glass and the trim where the glass goes up and down, not in the weather strip of door. Exactly, water goes in through the upper corner of window and the upper edge too. I don't put presurized water directly on the paint

"Leakage through the top of the door trim will need rectification by re-positioning the hole-filling sponge, or adding more sponge (whichever is easier)" How can i repositioning this sponge? I am looking at my door trim but it is glued to the car. Could you tell me how i can repositioning? Thanks

Ok, in Madrid there is an online RS shop, nad i can order from the uk online rs shop too, but now my problem is that i can't locate this product in the online shop http://rswww.com. Has the product other name? Could someone tell me th reference? Thanks

Where can i get 'crack test developer' spray? Could you tell me any commercial make? Thanks in advance

How can I can do this? Frame to seal print should ideally be around 8~10 mm wide, but as low as 5 mm should still afford you a good seal, but anything less should be counteracted by adjusting the door fitting condition slightly inwards(usually with the door-lock striker (latch loop on door aperture panel on 'B' pillar). A gap in the print will indicate a leak path. Thanks in advance

well, I disagree here. I was choosing between 320d and IS220d and I still read discussions about beemers with one eye ;) and trust me, e90 is considered as worst 3xx ever (also by owners!), not just cheap interior (which looks really crap, Citroen C5 looks better) - and rattles are included in the price :) but also the suspension is harsh, car is heavy understeery. The harshness can by sorted by changing tires with non-RFT, but then you have to buy a spare one, because bmw doesn't provide spare tire. Or - have you heard bmw professional audio system? it's an extra option. It plays much worse than the basic one in IS. So for me - between IS and BMW, the lexus is a clear winner, but I'd like to know who would win the battle between new C-klass and IS. Haven't driven C-klass yet. Guys - I have written to Lexus about this, had an initial response, and am asking some more questions as the initial response tells me nothing. Could you post the question and the answer? Thanks in advance

Have you changed the seal at your car? Did the change solve the problem?

If you at my topics you'll find I complained about this when first got my SE-L...posts will be around January/February 2006. Lexus changed out ALL the rubber seals on both front doors, including the glass to door seals but it made little or no difference to the wind noise. Finally solution was a very small adjustment to the door catch/lock which stopped the noise. However, the car is so exceptionally quiet that the side fresh air vents vent cause slight 'wind noise' when directed up the side of the glass :) Could you put some photo or describe the catch/lock fit to describe to my dealer in order to try to remove my wind annoying noise. Thanks

I'd suggest that you start a new topic for that, for several reasons: Anyone who does know about it would see the topic in RSS, but wouldn't know you were asking about it in here, so can't answer. Also People in the future will want to know the same thing, but won't find your question and the answers cos it's buried in another topic. A lot of the time Off-Topic doesn't matter, but for a case like this it kinda does. You can always prod the mole in pm to look at the topic, if he doesn't notice it. Hope you don't take offense at that. G Ok, I do it

"The Mole", doy you know anything abut "b pillar" wind-noise at 120km/h? My IS220d has ana annoying wind noise in both "b" pillar near the ears of driver and passenger and it is very annoying. Do you know any solution for this problem? Thanks in advance
