Windshield noise?

Remove this ad
Gentlemen:

Purchased a used 06 DTS and am now just noticing wind noise at 65-70 mph sounding like its coming from the windshield. No door seal noise, almost like its at the center bottom or center top of the windshield. Just wondering if anybody else experienced wind noise from the windshield. After a quick check of things, it looks as if everything is sealed...just kinda strange.

I had this same problem on my 1995 Deville 2 years ago.I took it to a windshield replacement shop and had them do a "free air pressure leak test".They found the windshield sealant had dried out and it let air in.It also leaked a bit of water everytime i ran it through a car wash.It needed a new windshield anyway as it was 12 years old and quite pitted so i had them put in a new one.I told them to apply the new sealant as thick s possible----it really fixed the wind noise and water leak.
Since yours is an '06, i doubt the windshield sealant is dried out----but you could have them run a free air pressure leak test anyway,just to make sure.
If you have a sunroof it may leak air there also.

Re: Windshield noise?

After you have the air leak test done... if it IS leaking... if it is still under 50,000 miles, take it back to a Cadillac dealer and have THEM fix it.

It will be covered under warranty.
