midsdr Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 picked up a car I bought today and only the front passenger side I hear road noise in the rain, it doesn't happen when road dry nor does it happen over road humps, its the exact sound that you hear if the window is open a bit and your driving on wet roads, the tyre on the road noise, what can be causing this as annoying me :P windows was closed and door was also properly closed , can is a 2005 mondeo 1.8 petrol 56k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanW Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I get the same with my mk2.5 Focus. Think it's just a Ford-ism I had a neb round, no evidence of mis-alignment or damaged seals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midsdr Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 ive looked at the door that is seems to be coming from and I noticed that door isn't flush like the other side, it sticks out slightly so I am wondering if that is where I am hearing the noise from whether its a replacement door or something is there anyway of aligning door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanW Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Where abouts does the door not align? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midsdr Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 the side of door where handle side is, run my hand down that side of the door and its not flush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanW Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I'm assuming you have no problem closing/locking the door? If it's towards the top, could suggest that somebody has hung off the door or yanked at it for whatever reason. In which case, a little gentle persuasion to pull it back into line may help.

midsdr Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 there is no problem closing or locking the door, it seems to mainly start near area door handle is upwards, not sure if been in a accident or replacement door or something, its hpi clear but doesn't mean everything does it, I wouldn't know where to start trying to get it in place :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanW Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I locked my keys in my old Punto once (well, twice - don't ask lol) and the recovery agent basically pulled the top of the door away from the frame in the process...took a few bends back to get make it fit properly again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 sounds like a replacement door. have a look at where it meets the open hinge, does it look like it could have been loosened / moved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midsdr Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 took car to a bodyshop local to get them to have a look and they adjusted doors free of charge took about 2 mins :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 nicely sealed up again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midsdr Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 HI again doors are now in line ;) but I have noticed the passenger side floor carpet is a bit damp so i pulled the carpet up on that side a bit to have a nose, no idea what i am looking for but thought id look ;) as soon as i pulled carpet up a plug come up too so not sure if that was maybe loose or off before i pulled carpet up i am not sure, i also felt that sponge like material near front of footwell and that was wet, so i dont know where to start to find out what is happening, not sure if it would be from that drain hole in the floor, ps what the hell is that, i hope its meant to have a hole in the floor :P or whether from the front end of the car, i noticed the cowl bit if that is what it is called wasnt sealed to the windscreen on the passenger side but garage said that wont cause no problems the driver side is attached to windscreen but passenger isnt, can anyone help at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 OK so the grommet sounds to have come loose which can happen. Reattach this secure it with silicone and then just work a way to dry the car out. Dehumidifier is one option or hairdryer and patience is another.

mintalkin Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 the scuttle panel on the passenger side of the windscreen has to be removed to access the pollen filter, its common for the panel not to be sealed against the windscreen after a pollen filter replacement, if the panel is not fitted right water will leak through the pollen filter onto the passenger side carpet.

jeebowhite Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Also given that the fuseboard is in the passenger footwell... that is another reason that it needs to be fixed properly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midsdr Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 with the bad rain we had the passenger side footwell was soaking :( i have taken car to ford to get sorted as want it done properly they have done water check and its the housing of the pollen filter and pollen filter and seal all gone the pollen filter is warped too they are sure this is the fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
