SUBGROUP TESTS

A - LOCATING DOOR WIND NOISES

• Tape the various areas indicated in the figure with body builder's adhesive paper

• Test on the road gradually bringing the car to the speed at which the noise starts: if the noise persists, check the presence of sealant between mudguard and pillar in the bottom area.
• Remove the adhesive paper from zone A e repeat the road test: if the noise persists, check the integrity of the door frame seal in that area and correct adherence to the body (see PROCEDURE OP. 7005A34) check also the integrity of the bonnet hinge plug.
• Remove the adhesive paper from zone B and repeat the road test: if the noise persists, check the door panel seal in that area and the correct adherence to the body (see PROCEDURE OP. 7005A34).
• Adapt also the door hinges (see PROCEDURE OP. 7005A14). Remove the shims from the upper hinge, or add to the lower hinge, so that the door adheres better to the seal.
• Remove the adhesive paper from zone C and repeat the road test: if the noise persists, adapt the door hinges (see PROCEDURE OP. 7005A14). Remove or add shims on the two hinges, so that the door adheres better to the seal.
• Remove the adhesive paper from zone D and repeat the road test: if the noise persists, check the glass scraper (see PROCEDURE OP. 7005D26).
• Remove the adhesive paper from the door mirror (zone E) and repeat the road test: if the noise persists, check the seal between mirror and door, and of the actual mirror (see PROCEDURE OP. 7005R10).
