Default Wind buffeting sound or paper flapping sound? Paper sound is a sticker...

that seems to have been left on at the factory. I recall some others having this problem. Mine finally stoppped after about 1000miles. I guess it finally pulled off and is somewhere in the headliner.

The wind buffeting sound that feels like your windows will blow out--cracking the windows will relieve or closing sunroof slightly. The wind deflector needs to be slightly larger and have holes spaced across it to relieve this effect. I think Porsche is the manufacturer that solved this a few years back. Could be wrong.

Default They do, but...

The one in my old A4 seemed to work better in terms of the buffeting sound. My old A4 had the wind deflector with notches in it, and I didn't notice the buffeting noise.
