I don't know if this is just an isolated issue but when driving i have issues when I begin to reach high speeds 95+ mark or near this with a combination of high winds (rare occasions) ! The seals just decide to give up and the doors begin to whistle ,wondering if anybody else has had this issue or knows anything about it ?

I'm always stuck to the speed 'limit' in the fast lane and never had a problem, is it the seals around the windscreen? Do you have deflectors installed?

FYI I have been in temps as low as -20C and had no problem with door seals.
The only problem at those temperatures is the cold air in the car which moves over you as you turn corners. Heated seats are heaven...

Since I've fitted my Heko wind deflectors it seems to have helped this issue but it still happens in very windy conditions ! my car is due in at VW on thursday so im going to bring the issue up with the technicians and see what they say !
