Default Wind Noise

My XJR has always seemed to have a wind noise at speed. It seems to come from the back but is difficult to locate. Does anyone else have this problem?

Any ideas on how to isolate it?

Yes mine will make noise from the mirrors. Hold your hand over the front of the mirror while driving and see if it goes away. I took my brakes completely apart before I realized this was what it was.

I too have some wind noise, I'll try the door mirror test, however, I do know that I have a split drivers door seal rubber, near my head position at the rear of the driver's door, so I was thinking that could also be a factor.....Allan
