Hello Everyone - First time post here, but been on and looking around a lot for the last 9 months. I decided to purchase an LR3 at the tail end of last year and found one that generally fit the bill. It had 115k miles, two owners, and lived in Cali and Florida it’s whole life so was reasonably clean.
I’ve been able to do some small stuff myself after having it looked at by a few LR local mechanics. It had a small leak out of the oil cooler which I caught early enough I think, but it’s generally only had some smaller stuff that LR3s are known for (most recently the trunk latch failed which was a fun replacement
).
In any event, I’m getting towards whits end with a wind noise/issue. It generally only happens above 60mph. It sounds like it’s coming from the passenger side, maybe towards the roof line but tough to poinpoint.
Now I know the usual suspect is the A Pillar trim, but it’s not the culprit. In fact, I went so far today as removing it completely and painters taping the whole area and the sound is still there.
It’s also not the sunroof - was able to adjust that and totally cleared up a bunch of wind noise which was nice and also not that hard. But when I open it
Doesn’t seem to be the side mirror either as I’ve adjusted it and pulled it in while at speed and the hum is still there.
The sound is a hum that gets louder when the wind picks up and hits the car.
All that said, the truck does have a replacement windshield and the only thing I keep thinking is that it was either poorly sealed or they screwed up installing the moulding at the top of the windshield. I’m having a tough time determining that though.
Before I go replacing the windshield (or maybe trying to find someone to reseal it but that seems difficult to find for some reason), I figured I’d ask if there’s any other ideas that anyone has. I’ll try to post a video along with any pictures of the top moulding to help, but wanted to get the convo started. Thanks for any thoughts/ideas!!
