Wind noises

[Stevevargas]

Hello my name is Steve in live in South Texas I recently brought a 2019 GTS, and I have questions

Yeeessss?

Ok have any of y’all experienced rattling noise coming form right and left door pillars between front and back door? Noise is coming from where seat belt attaches inside of car. Right beside your head. It bugs the holy hell out of me if the radio is not up. I have it at the dealer right now, they are having a hard time tracking it.

You drive belted up? Because the most common "rattle" that comes from the B pillars is the belt buckle touching the pillar(s).

"Wind noises" doesn't really apply to your question, so far.

I have noticed a light “rubbing” sound from the weatherstripping rubbing against the body frame. But that’s as close to wind noise I’ve heard.

I’ll keep that in mind but that’s not it.

I figured. But you did say "seatbelts" so that had to be tossed out. Owners lobotomize their car's nanny systems in the strangest ways, i.e. the "you have not belted in!" nanny dingdingdingdingdingdingding would have to go in order to drive unbelted - at least mine never shuts up; on older cars the seatbelt "dingdingding" only lasts a limited, usually five, "dings" and then goes away. I guess that regulations have mandated that it never stop. Then there's the expedient that most rebels use: just leave the belt buckled and sit on it: but then the buckle wouldn't be retracted against the B pillar to make noise.

If the "rattle" is actually coming from the belt return spool mechanism, the B pillar is going to have to be taken apart to get at it. If it is loose fitment of plastic on plastic parts, then pushing and prying around edges with a close inspection might snap something back into place (possibly for the first time since leaving the assembly line, heh ). I can't think of anything else right now.

Heaven forefend. Other than a relatively few lapses, all my posts have value. But assuming the present rate remains constant, that would be attained roughly January 2027; well into the second generation Stinger.

Problem solved, thanks for the responses

I have the same problem. The noise sounds like it is coming from the outside. Only hear it on the passenger side and can hear it while I am driving. It’s really loud and gets worse as speed increase which leads me to the fact it is directly related to wind. I am taking it in next week and see what they find. I am afraid it will be one of those “couldn’t duplicate owner concern”
