Wind noise

[MichiganMan]

My 2004 X has what I consider to be a lot of wind noise, especially at highway speed. Seems to be sourced rich at the top of the A pillar and/or drivers door and window. I've not been in any other X so I dont know if this is normal..

If not, I'm thinking maybe the door and/or window seals need replaced? Do I need to go to Nissan for new rubber (assuming I can even order it)?

Check the faring on the rack too. I've heard that can cause problems.

Excessive wind noise is common on the Xterra especially the gen1. Its cause by the roof rack and wind deflector. if you dont like the noise you can remove the wind deflector on the rack and it should help a lot. what i did was put dynamat on the inside of my roof and filled in the open space between the headliner and roof with more insulation and i get zero wind noise.

I was thinking that the rack was the likely culprit. I'll look in that direction. Thx.
