Default Wind noise 1997 XK8

I am getting a blustering wind noise from driver side. It sounds like it coming from the fender or hood corner. There is no air or water entering cabin. The noise gets louder from 35 mph and up. I can hera the noise with driver door open, so I have ruled out defective door and window seals. Windscreen seal and drain cowl seals are also good. Help!

I would get out the allen wrench and make sure the screw for manual operation, for latch, is fully tightened. If it has backed off it will still latch but allow some gap.

There are several TSBs for this complaint. I uploaded HUNDREDS of Bulletins (that no one reads) in the stickies or large file area on this forum.

Gus also has ALL the TSBs I have so that would be a good place to research.

Look for TSBs 501-19 and 501-52.
