Default Wind noise.

Does anyone experience an unwanted amount of wind noise? Maybe im being picky since getting used to my s4. Are there any solutions? Other than thicker glass from the factory (design issue)

Some say heat shield. I'd take it in to get checked.

Default How about the small crack at the top of the plastic piece on the B pillar. I am hearing wind noise

from around this area, but I havent had a chance to cover the crack with a piece of tape to see if it helps (I've only owned the S4 for a month). To give you an idea of what kind of wind noise the car can generate, try using a shop vac and blow air on the various openings around the door, mirror, etc. I used this to figure out how to quiet down my previous Chrysler!
