I have only ever driven with the seats down as I have a tray fitted and dont need the rear seats. I have never had any issue about wind noise from the rear door. I have driven in all weathers, including a very wet 3 hour drive last week.

Hmmm. Sounds like it warrants a bit more investigation then. I'll get someone to chauffeur me while I sit in the back I think.

@Gadget. I dynamat'ed my rear outer panels when I did my speaker install so don't think it's that. I wondered if it was my spare wheel cover amplifying things but you have the same one.

Thanks all

Can't say I have noticed the noise to tell the truth (no other rattles or squeaks either :cheer:

)

There are some vents behind the rear bumper, they have a rubber flap on them, wondering if one is stuck open?

Where did you get to in the end with this? The wife and I have just bought a new Jimny and this was the first thing we noticed on the test drive. I actually stopped to check the door was closed properly. I assumed this was normal and just somethign we'd need to put up with but maybe that's not the case?

Just being latched properly may not mean that it is closed properly.

Closed and latched requires the door to compress the rubber seal and be flush with the body and this includes the hinge side. On the 2 rear door system on the LC there was a very fussy system that you had to adhere to to get a proper seal that didn't squeak or rattle or let water in..

Best to pester the dealer.

PS If he tries the comment "they all do it",

Mine doesn't.
