I have a terrible wind noise at speeds 120 and over it sounds like it is coming from the sunroof but the dealer water tested it no leeks but found one in the trunk there is no way they can duplicate the problem but I still think its the seal they tell me its fine does anybody know what could be causing that.

Probably going 120+ is the problem. LOL
I think at that speed wind noise is inevitable.

LOL, I think it's great that we even have problems like this on a Caddy :D. Di you tell your dealer you were having issues at 120+ :D

I'm glad I ordered mine without the moonroof. Save 75+ lbs up high, higher otrtional rigidity, and no wind noise.

I know others have had this issue. I loooked in the FAQ and didn't see antyhing about it. Might be worth searching the other forum for your answer.

Good luck,

Chris

At speeds over 130mph my cuspidor rattles in the cupholder-do not want to have brown interior oneday, so any advice is accepted.
The C6 does not experience shakes until after 160mph, so I know there is a solution out there.

Dude, just keep a beer in the cupholder. PROBLEM SOLVED!

only owned V for a month and drive in the "city". Have not road tripped this baby yet but i have approached these speeds many times on the straights. Seems like it could definitely use some dynamat for sure on the back seat metal, under hood layer- and other key areas. maybe a strip of foam tape on doors/or door jams- a regular wind noise fix. I want it to cruise with a quiet cabin on the interstate...anyone have any other (ambient) sound deadening suggestions?

dont flame me- I love the sound and like it loud -I had (still have- 2 yrs of dust) a nice mustang GT with magnaflows..just want it quiet while hwy cruising
