Golf Mk IV cabin tightness - GreatDane
since taking delivery last year of new 03 reg noticed that 'last' door closes with a 'clunck' (like a seat!), not with a tight 'thump' for which a vw golf has/had? a reputation. and which my old mk iv s98 reg did.
also 'schwish' noice of cars passing in opposite direction in my view definitely louder than in old car. as if a window not closed properly.
my guess is door frame and/or window at drivers seat not tight, but vw main dealer unable find fault or do anything, "as water is not entering cabin"!
anybody with similar experience / known remedy, please ??

May be windscreen not sealed correctly. Happened on some old fords. ie while windscreen is installed the compound used to glue/seal to metal compacts to a clean area not a dirty one so leaving a hole in sealant. may not be that. Just a thought? let me know what you find.

I had a similar thing on my S Reg.

I could hear the passing air through the front offside door. I thought that the dealer would think that I was being too pedantic. He said, however, that he knew exactly what it was and would fix it. When I picked it up he told me that it was sorted so I drove off. The noise was exactly the same and was still there when I part-exed it.
