Hello everyone,
I have a 900 SE convertible with a very boring problem. When driving at around 130 km/h (80mph), the bonnet begin to whistle loudly, and just nothing else before. The sound come from the middle of the windshield frame, just above the mirror. I don't know what to do to prevent that whistle, except open the bonnet :)) It has arrived a few times ago, one day, like that.
Did someone had the same problem ? What did you do ?
Many thanks, Philippe
Well, now you are really confusing me... I thought that "bonnet" was the euro term for "hood" here in the US, but I'm thinking what you mean it is the soft-top, since I can't imagine driving a car with the engine compartment hood open... ;-)
In terms of localizing exactly where the noise is coming from, with judicious (temporary) use of masking tape you should be able to find where the air leakage is occuring at, and then it is simply a matter of fixing or beefing up the weatherstripping at that point.

Correct, I talk about the soft-top. Hard to find the good technical words for a poor lonesome frenchy ;) And sorry, but what do you mean by "beefing up" the "weatherstripping" ?
Many thanks, Philippe
You may need to either replace a section (if it is worn or damaged) or augment the existing weatherstrip with a second one.

Thanks again for your answers. I'll try that as soon as sun comes back :)
