GEN 4 - Rear door wind noise was created by 888nmc
Does anybody think it's a bit excessive? I'm finding myself checking over my shoulder to make sure the door's closed properly.

Maybe i'm noticing it more now the roads are wet. Having the rear seats up muffles it, but I usually drive with mine flat.

I've checked my door rubbers and it seems to have a good seal. Can anything be done to reduce the noise?

I haven't noticed anything, but I don't drive it in the wet.

It cost £20,000. I am NOT getting it wet, that is what the [strike]Renault[/strike] Nissan is for :)

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

I have not noticed it as excessive for a vehicle with a lot of bare metal inside. I can hear it in both the Gen3 and Gen4 but not so it's annoying.

We have a vibration buzz from the dashboard that goes when something warms up. Something like part of the heater vents or something with a warm bulb in it. Has anyone had this? Also, when solo driving I get a rattle from the metal end of the unused seat belt on the passenger side against the plastic cover on the B pillar?

That's exactly James' policy, he was tramatised today as we felt we had to take it out as the rain had kept it in the garage all week

Not noticed any noise from the rear in mine, but I've soundproofed the rear panels and floor with Dynamat which might have killed any noise. Details on the soundproofing here:
