Hi All,

Ever since new, the car (V60 2017) has had this noise. It starts at around 80km/h, and becomes worse as speed increases, and also if the wind is strong/from the side.

The noise seems to be wind noise, though it can even sound as if something is moving around inside the b-pillar (rattling noise). The shop have tried with masking of both front and rear windows (right side), didnt stop it. Have tried opening and closing the rear side air vent, no changes either.

Opening and closing windows, didnt take it away either. The b-pillar cladding was removed, and the air duct behind it checked; didnt seem that this would cause this wind/rattling sound.

Its driving me absolutely crazy, now 42.000km down the line. My wifes V40 2017, is completely free from wind/rattling, in comparison with my V60...

Any ideas? Squicking door seals? Loose bits inside the b-pillar?
