A33 wind noise TSB

[MattB]

Can anyone give me a link to the TSB on wind noise coming from the rear doors on the A33 I30 (I think it applies to the Max too but not sure)? I'm experiencing this problem (the noise level is annoying at 75mph) and want to have a copy of the TSB to show the dealer when I take it in so they don't try to give me some BS about pulling apart the weather stripping. I tried searching this site for it but couldn't find anything. Also if anyone could give me a rough idea of what I'll be charged for having this done I'd appreciate it since I can put up with the noise if the fix is going to be really expensive.

Hey MattB,

I am having the same problem on my 2001 I30. Over time the weather striping expands and contracts. I noticed the weather striping had moved forward and there was about 3 inches of metal showing were the weather stripping would normally be (back door jam both sides). For the past few months...this has become a monthly routine...I will slide the weather stripping back toward the rear of the car, making sure it stays on track. Once you get it to the end of the metal railing you can stop. This solves the wind noise for about a month. I need to get my transmission fluid changed next week and I was going to ask the dealer about this while I was there. It just needs something to hold it in place at the end of the track.

i would recommend replacing the weatherstripping, just b/c it sounds like the old one is just worn outand that is why it wont stay on the track. if you replace the weatherstrip it should take care of it for a whole lot longer than a month, and weatherstripping is generally not that expensive

Here's the bulletin summary. It does exist, but I can't get a copy of the full thing. If anyone can come up with a copy of ITB01022 I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks. This is exactly what my car is doing.
