  1. Honestly, I would dump the guy too if I were the editor. If you can't comment about something without referring to human sexual organs then you are a very poor writer and shouldn't be employed as one. But he is right. The first thing that popped into my head when I first sawt he B9 was "You would think they never heard of a focus group."
  2. Well, I wasn't able to produce the sound last night. The winds were calm yesterday and I've noticed that this occurs most often when there is a slight breeze. However, I did look at the area near the mirror. There is a spot where the gasket, or whatever, is split down the top of the window. The split is about an inch long. I'll try taping it up with some blue painters tape to see if that's the cause.
  3. I see this all the time and I just don't buy it. They pay more because they have higher taxes. I would rather have lower gas prices than subsidize a public transit system that doesn't go where I need it to (the neighborhood I grew up in is 10 miles from the nearest bus stop, and it's been there for 30 years).
  4. That's not a bad idea. I'll give it a shot, but it is difficult to hear the noise over the wind when the window is open even a crack. I could give any screws there a quick turn to see if they're loose.
  5. Hi everyone. I just bought a 2000 OBW a couple weeks ago and I've been trolling here trying to get information. I thought I would use my first post to say hello and ask a question. When I first test drove the car it had a cracked windshield, which the dealer replaced before I bought it. During the test drive I didn't notice any strange noises, and I did do some highway driving. However, after taking the car I noticed that there is a high pitched whining noise when I am going freeway speeds. It sounds as if it's coming from inside the car in the front left corder of the dash (near the tweeter, but maybe a little more forward). I've tried everything I can think of to eliminate this noise, including turning off the AC/Fan, turning off the stereo, opening the windows, pressing on several surfaces, and even taking out the coin tray. But it is difficult to produce. When it happens it only lasts for a second or two so I don't have much time to try things, not to mention I have to keep my eye on the road. I've had it happen when I was going 75mph uphill (about 4500rpm) and 60mph downhill (about 2700rpm) and everything in between, but never at city street speeds. I'm guessing it's airflow issue and the only thing that I can think of is the windshield. Is it possible that the new windsield or something related is causing a vibration? Should I have the dealer take a look, since they installed it, and hope they cover it? The car only has a 3000 mile powertrain warrenty, but maybe I can argue that since they installed the windshield, there should be a limited warrenty for their work. Any ideas you guy might have would be very helpful. BTW, other than this I am in love with this car. If I can fix this I will be 100% satisfied.
