I've had my goat for a little over two weeks.
The day I picked her up, I noticed road noise/ wind noise, on the drivers door/ window.
I talked to the dealer who of course said give it some time it may seat itself.

Well yesterday I was washing her up and noticed when a stream of water hits the door. I get a nice jet of approx 10inch spray between the door and body seal.

So she's going in on Monday night for a adjustment, of course she's not going back to the original dealer.

Any others have anything like this happen to their goat. ?

Nope, not me. Mine is quiet as a... ummm... as something that's really quiet.

Except for the exhaust, of course...

And the occasional squealing of tires...

And that dang shifter buzz I've just picked up on hard accelerations! (Dang!!!)

Mine had the same problem, but without the water problem. If you havent allready got it fixed just look and see if the door lines up right with the body. I didnt have the wind noise on mine for a couple of months but when i picked mine up it didnt line up with the body right, but at the time i didnt care. I took mine back and they adjusted it and the door lines up right and no noise no more. If i was you i would take it back and have them adjust it. That way they have to go through the trouble of doing it. If you dont take it back to them you are just saving them money. They may get the money for the parts back from GM but not the labor.

Huh? The car is under warranty. Of course the dealer will get parts AND labor paid to them by GM. You think the dealer warranties the car, or works for free?

I did pick her up last night , no wind noise no water leak. but the door still has a bit of miss alighnment.

So she'll probably go back , when I get the time.
As my baby needs to be perfect.

Problem maybe that while at the dealership the wind might have caught the door and stretch it at the seams, you may want to have them check the joints as this might be a permanent thing.
