Ticking W/ all windows down

SixPost · 05-05-2017, 01:44 PM

I get a ticking sound from the drivers side B pillar area when I'm rolling with all of the windows down. I can just hear it over the wind noise, sounds just like a turn signal but very irratic. No, my turn signal is not on... Anyone experience this or have a fix???

Do you have sunshades? Is there anything like those or seat belts that can be flapping in the wind?

I do have sunshades, but they are down and have only been up a few times. Seatbelts not an issue. This sounds more like a click... ???

Clicking noise in movement is usually a window regulator, but once down...

I am guessing it is caused by wind movement. Could be any number of things, but not sure what else it could be.

Good luck.

I get a super annoying clicking sound from the front drivers side strut area. I can feel it in my steering wheel. I've taken it in twice and they can't seem to replicate it and since my car has H&R's and aftermarket wheels, the tech told me to put everything back to stock and they'll take a look at it, which I haven't done yet. The car was bought CPO with this sound so I know it wasn't because of the mods.
