I just had my window replaced by the dealer, and now there is a sound from my front window scuttle (only when I drive faster then 50mph).
My dealer is 100km away, so I would like to fix it myself if possible.
As a temp solution I put some rubber in between the front window scuttle (You can see them on the picture, the brown rubbers) which fixes the issue, but of course I would like to fix it for real.

Anybody an idea what could be causing it ? And how to fix it ?

thanks.

The plastic scuttle panel clips into clips under the window. Push fit



try pushing the panel toward the van ! (Under the windscreen)

Edit: the bottom lip that you have the plastic tube under should sit flat to the body panel and tight to the rubber seal.

is there a gap at the bottom of the screen between screen and scuttle panel ?

looks like yours is not fitted correctly see photos below excuse the dirt
Photo 1 - drivers side screen junction
photo 2 - bonnet up looking along the panel (tight to rubber seal)
photo 3 - seal peeled back to show panel sits below seal

Thnks Perfectos,

Do you mean towards the engine ?

There is definitly some space between the body panel and the scuttle.
And there is 1 or 2 mm space to the rubber seal.

What do you mean, the window screen ? There is no space between the window screen and scuttle panel.
