Wind noise Fiat Ducato van

[Kalleiviken]

I experience that there is a lot of noise / wind noise in my Globecar. I have glued a wind deflector to the sunroof and mounted a new gasket in the sunroof. But that does not help much. Still a lot of noise when I drive over 90 km / h. (56mph) What have you done, tip?

Make sure the under trays are secure especially after the ice etc ,check there's no rubber grommets out in the engine bay or not fully fitted
is there an area you hear it more pronounced?
mirrors can be another source as aerials as well
try folding the mirrors in and try?

This might be a bit over the top but in my case I fitted a spoiler on my roof more to deflect the wind over my solar panels but the first think I noticed was the lack of wind noise from my front skylight so I guess that’s a bonus.

Thanks, I'm going to try the mirrors. I've suspected them. Do you know if there is a hole from the mirror and into the cab?

The plate on the door inner has a foam pad on many and mirror held on with three screws if I remember correctly
but it depends on year and models

Our Van seems quiet compared to all the works vans I've driven over the years

I was going to type that if it wasn’t occupied it would be quieter.

We fitted another seal around our cab roof light .(mini bonnet seal) stoped the whistling ..wind deflectors on both door windows..

My Swedish is excellent, my English ok and my German weak. I speak three languages! I know that wind noise can be understood as farts and understand that it can be irresistible for some to joke about this but my question was seriously meant so no more jokes about farts, thank you.

You don't say what year your Globecar is, my 7 year old Family Scout L, has never suffered from wind noise, if fact I find it much quieter than my my previous 2010 Ducato Maxi Trigarno!
Maybe as getting older my deafness increases!
Never tried driving with my hearing aids fitted!
