Is there a reason why at speeds above 130 both front windows sound like their open with the noise of wind, when there not. Is it just a case of needing new window seals ?

The aerodynamics of the B5 cause the doors to be pulled away from the body at the top. Think they can be adjusted to reduce the effect.

Think Doug mentioned it was quite bad at 198mph when he did a Vmax event last year!

I may not be reaching 198mph but at a slow in comparison 175 on last blast it was bloody annoying
