SERVICE INFORMATION
Some 1982-1985 Sentra vehicles may exhibit one or two types of wind noise:
A.
A buzzing noise from the 'A' pillar area on all models with a double lip weatherstrip on the front doors. This weatherstrip is primarily found
on vehicles built from May 1983 to May 1984, but may have been retro-fitted to an earlier vehicle by a dealer.
B.
An air leak noise from two possible locations:
1.
Air leaking past the weatherstrip (On vehicles prior to December 1983 production).
2.
Air leaking past the door sash run rubber (On vehicles prior to January 1985 production).
Use the Service Procedure on the following pages to correct these wind noise conditions.
