Reduce wind noise from the 'A' Pillar area on a C6 |

1. Possible cause : Turbulence caused by the passage of air into the hollow section of the door strengthener Solution: Plug 3 openings in the Door Strengthener Possible parts required: 1Clip - Packaging of 50 (Part No. 6990 E0). Plug the 3 openings "b" ; Using mastic. Access to the openings "b", on the front section of the door, is possible after having released the sealing component (1) held in place by a clip (at "a") ![]() ![]() You can get at those by pulling the door edge trim back and lifting the top part back. That way you don't need to remove the 'clip' (which is a plastic plug) referred to above. The non circled part is well under the rubber cover and I can't see how air would get to it if the front parts were filled. If you do fill the outer 2 and still have wind noise then that's the time to think about breaking the clip. Ideally you would use car seam mastic, but I have tried with some domestic 'window and door frame' sealant which doesn't set or harden, so is flexible and water proof with a 'skin' over the top. |
