Wind noise poll

[doogie63]

Seem a lot of people have the wind noise problem either from mirror or glass roof. It also seems Ford has no fix or just don't care.

I had noise but it was due to the job1 windshield and roof recall. Now I have none.

2021 Job 2 Premium RWD SR - yes but so long ago.
2022 Job 2 Premium AWD ER - yes (my GT PE was delayed 4 months so I bought my backup order)
2022 Job 1 GT PE - no (built in April but delayed due to HVBJB recall and arrived in July)
2022 Job 2 Premium AWD ER - yes

No - GT with metal roof.

Fixed mine twice.

GTPE pano roof.

First fix- put the foam tube in the gap above the windshield.

2nd fix- windshield cracked (rock chip). Safelite replaced it, mentioned how uneven the factory windshield was and made it level.

I no longer need the foam in the gap and it’s quiet.

It’s not worth replacing the windshield, but it is worth using the $10 foam fix.

I have a box full of this windshield gap material (foamy/rubbery tubing) that I bought for my first Model Y but never used. Will try to install some on the Mach-E to see if it makes a difference.

Nope. GT-PE with metal roof. I wish I had the 360 cameras but the metal roof was worth more to me. ??

What year is your GTPE by the way. Seems to be a gap in mine as well, I notice the soap gathers there during car washes.

How would I possibly know if I have a wind noise problem? I'd always love for my cabin to be quieter, but I don't know if that's possible or if I have a "problem." Seems ok? What is the benchmark?

2021.

The all have a gap.

But if your windshield is uneven, the gap makes a noise. Like blowing on the top of a bottle.

So the easy fix? Fill the gap.

Hard fix? Realign the windshield.

I guess it depends on the definition of what constitutes a “problem”. Not definitely not the most quiet car but also not the loudest. I’d say it’s about average for wind noise.

If you have a wind noise problem you would know. It sound just like if you had window rolled down just a fraction.

Every car has some wind noise at high speeds, whether it's a problem is subjective.

This.

My natural instinct to is press the window buttons to roll them up (but they are already fully up). Every. Single. Time.

My car is the select. No sun roof. Has been in the shop a few times for a few weeks and they can’t figure it out. Mine gets worse, much worse on cold days. I’m in the Northeast. I’ve been in three other Mach E’s which had no wind noise. This is only affecting a small percentage of the cars and Ford needs to do something about it. I’ve been a Ford Customer since 1976. Maybe it’s time to move on
