Is anyone else getting a high-pitched whistling wind sound front-right of the windscreen when driving at high speeds with all windows closed?

I tried it on the freeway, with a heavy headvind, and i was driving about 140 - 145 km/hour

Mine has been fine (when I get it on a decent road) however when I first got it I did notice one if the rear doors was slightly misaligned you could see a slight step between it and the rear quarter panel. So it may be worth checking yours to check them. The dealer adjusted it for me.

Journeyman sounds like you have a "friday" car :? Can you not go back to the dealer with your concerns and maybe have an extended loan of their demonstrator for a couple of days to compare them?

I cannot really comment as I have not taken delivery of mine yet but I read these when reviewing the car

"At motorway speeds you'll notice quite a bit of road and wind noise, but that's not unique to the Cactus - most cars in this small crossover segment have the same problem."

"High speed cruising is very stable and easy, the engine noise is low but there is some wind noise coming from the roof rails and mirrors."

Certainly not in my case, I find the 110 Flair fairly quiet at all speeds, fingers crossed it'll remain that way. Methinks you need to take it back very quick, tell 'em its not fit for purpose and order a different one.

Mine was due, again, to go in today to sort this. Apparently it's due to be fixed under warranty cover new seals etc. I was asked if it was one side of the car or both. The garage have gone for both so both get down. Todays fix was delayed as the warranty work has still to be signed off by Citroen.

Hello,

Here in Spain one mate from another forum had the same problem.

After investigating he found out that there were some kind of problem with the rubber from the doors (I don't know hoy to explain in English). An issue with the adjustment between doors and rubbers. Citroen changed the parts and problem was solved, no more sounds.

Mine was produced at the end of march and have no sound; I guess that they detected the incidence and begun to use "right" parts...

Mine went in last week for them to "fix" the wind noise. It came back with them finding nothing. They had mentioned the seals before it went in and that it would be warranty work.

When i looked over it with the person returning the car we noticed that the seal stopped about 1 inch above a mark on the frame where it looks like the seal is supposed to reach to. On the passenger door the seals reaches this mark and has no wind noise.

It has taken 3 missed car pickups to get to this stage and I have had to call the dealership again to arrange another date for it to be fixed.

I do at least now know where to tell them to look them to look.

Def. The seals there is a mark on the door frame, two indents, where the seal should reach to. My passenger door is ok and make s no noise the drivers for is 1 inch to short. Sadly my dealership took a day to check the car and didn't see this so it's due back again.

Any chance you could post a pic of these indents and where they are. I personaly don't have this issue, but from some of the descriptions my seals are different, mine was built in Jan and I'm wondering why some people do and some people don't get it.

Yeah I've found it, my seals both sides stop about 3mm or 1/8" before this indent. And the plastic/rubber curved section just covers it when the doors shut. Looks like the guy that fitted the seals didn't check his start and finish points. Thanks for the pic.
