WIND NOISE 2011 LR4/Discovery
Hi, I have a 2011 LR4 which I am very happy with. There is a loud whistle that comes from the front driver and passenger doors 35-50mph. Took it to the dealer they kept it for 4 days masked all the windows/sunroof and ended up ordering in new side view mirrors - problems still there, just as bad. Has anyone else noted this or had it fixed....

When you brought your vehicle in for your service visit, did you go for a roadtest
with the service advisor or work shop supervisor and verify the complaint?
There is too much room for error if the problem has not been verified.
Do you have roof rails and crossbars on your vehicle? If so remove them and retest for noise.
If not and you are inclined to find this problem I would recommend looking at the "A" pillars
They are the windshield corner posts. Maybe one or both of them are loose.
You could also take a look at the roof rail trim where it meets the windshield.
Other than that you will need to rely on your Friendly Neighborhood Land Rover Center.

I had my rear roof glass replaced and mentioned it to the repair men, they said that it was famous around the windshield, mine was passenger side. I had thought it was the rack also, i have a rover rack voyager rack. Upon placing masking tape along the passenger side of the window where it touches the plastic bit, the noise stopped. i think the plastic bit raises just a little bit at higher speeds, i needed highway speeds to cause the problem.

I had the same problem on my 2010 LR4 after the windshield was replaced.
The noise was coming from the passenger side only on the highway, driving at 70 miles/hour in windy condition.
The glass repair company came a 1st time and glued the seal on the bottom of windshield. It did not work.
They came a second time, and glued the windshield 's seal with a different primer and replaced and glued both A pillar covers.
This time it worked and no more noise.
It should not be noisy inside anyway, we kept nagging the company until it was fixed.

Long story short...
I had the windshield replaced by Safelite, per the recommendation of my insurance company.
with in 2 days the noise was so unbearable.
Took it to the dealer.
The windshield was not installed properly, cause the A-Pillar trim to sit high.
From visual inspection all looked good, but once you got up to speed, the trim would lift casing a horrific noise.
Dealer removed the glass, and installed a new one, by their local glass company.
No complaints since.

My issue is sorted. Clearly problem comes from the trim on windshield A-pillars especially after windshield is replaced. Apparently the clips which hold down the trim to the body lose integrity and once they do, the holes let in air/wind at high speed. Very common issue.
Yes always invest in new A-Pillar trim clips when replacing windshield.
