2005 pathfiner windnoise problem

bearbiv · Nov 21st, 2005, 08:48 AM

2005 pathfinder. at higher rates of speed (usually above 70mph) high pitch windnoise coming from what sounds like the front of sunroof. all seals look good and adjusted roof rack rails. nothing working. anybody else experience this problem?

I hear a whistle only sometimes at high speed and only on very windy days. My guess is the driver side mirror.

not sure what to do about it since i really cant recreate this noise on demand.

I have the same problem. I am pretty sure it is the wind deflector on the sunroof on my car.

same here. its the sunroof deflector that is causing the wind buzz.
if you don't have one. then its the roof rack. I think. other than that, there is nothing else on top of the roof.

Hmm...I drive over 70 miles a day, usually with the cruise control set on 70MPH...and I've taken the Pathy as fast as 95MPH to pass a truck on occasion...and I've never heard this sound.

I have the sunroof with the factory wind deflector...no noise for me. In fact, I'm pretty amazed at how quiet the thing runs at 75MPH.
