Hi
Has anyone determined where the wind noise comes from on the 300c, is it the mirrors? I cannot find it except itsounds like the top of the door seal, has anyone stopped this adding weather tape to the inner door? any ideas

There is a TSB on this and it has to do with the Black trim piece between the window shield and pillar arm. I can try to find the TSB and post it but if I remember correctly it says to pull it out and put it back in. that it should set flush. I think that's the way it went.

I found the following.

Body - 'A' Pillar Wind Turbulence
NUMBER: 23-048-04
GROUP: Body

SUBJECT:

This bulletin involves adjusting the position of the exterior A-pillar molding. MODELS:
2005 (LX) 300/Magnum SYMPTOM/CONDITION:

A turbulence sound may be heard in the area of the A-pillar(s) at highway speeds. Some vehicles may have been built with the exterior A-pillar molding out of position. A wind noise may be created when the molding is either over flush to the roof panel, or over flush to the body-side aperture, (Fig. 1), both of which create a gap between the molding and sheet metal.
DIAGNOSIS:
Inspect the exterior A-pillar moldings, if either are over flush to the roof panel, (Fig. 1) or over flush to the body-side aperture, which creates a gap between the molding and sheet metal perform the Repair Procedure.
REPAIR PROCEDURE:

1. Grip the A-pillar molding (beginning at the top near roof) with your fingers and pry upward to disengage the molding from the clips, (Fig. 2). 2. Continue toward the hood, prying until all (4) clips are disengaged.

3. Install the molding properly so that it is touching the body aperture along the entire length of the molding and is flush to under flush at the roof panel, (Fig. 3). POLICY:

Thanks
I think I will try a litle experiment and use paper tape to seal the seam on the door,its not a whistle noise,its wind noise like you hear strong wind passing the upper door but there is no wind comming in the weather strip to the interior,so I think if I can narrow down the point taping the seams and driving I may be able to find it by points of elimination,if I heaqr no more noise then I will take the tape off different sections til it comes back, if that does not work I will tape the mirror and pillar and front side edge of the front winshield
