Vincent,

I have a 1994 S4 with a slight wind noise problem.

I hear a slight wind noise while driving at high speeds.  I adjusted the
door frame so there is no gap between the door and the frame, and the
seal is tight, but the wind noise did not go away.

I think this wind noise comes from the shape of the mirrors and there is
nothing I can do about it.  I put tape across the gap between the mirror
and door frame, and the wind noise subsided, but it was still there.

Also, I used to have a 1986 5000cs that had a different mirror design
and did not have any wind noise.  This 5000 was also in a wreck and the
door panel did not fit perfectly flush against the frame, but it was
still very quiet.  I also used to have a 1997 Acura 3.2tl and it had the
same type of mirror design as my current S4 and it had a wind noise
problem even when the door was completely sealed.

Any suggestions, or is this normal?

Thanks,
