i get a weird buzzing noise from where the defogger comes out of when im on the freeway. it sounds like a huge fly is stuck under my dash. anyone else have this problem or have an idea of what it could be?

Possibly a leaf, paper, or something flapping in the fan. If it really fast, loud buzzing noise it could be the bearing in the blower motor.

I had to have my blower motor replaced due to a sound uit was making. Does the sound speed up when you increase the fan speed?

i wouldnt say it does, but it only seems to happen when i have the ac on. i shut off the ac and fans but it will continue making the noise for a while, so i dont think it has to do with fan speed. the noise seem to be louder when i accelerate, but not all the time. one time i heard it even when the ac or fan wasnt on. seems to be random but occurs more when the ac is on.

we had the same problem, they were gonna replace the blower motor but it went away.

Does anyone have a slight tapping noise coming from the front of their car? It only happens once in a while. Thanks.

I had the fly noise today and discovered the trim around the windshield on the driver's side is torn. There is a metal reinforcement molded into the rubber strip, and it cracked, then completely broke. Now whenever I am going 65 - 70 mph, it buzzes like a giant fly. It doesn't sound like it's coming from the defroster though, it very much sounds like it's coming from the top of the windshield (and it is).

I took some pics of it today, I'll post them and update this with a link.

Link to pics. Scroll to the bottom, there are three pics of the weather strip, two are IIP, the other is FM. It should be obvious what the problem is.

Swell.
Another chassis flex related noise for us all to enjoy.
Wish I didn't like the car so dang much.

i checked closer and the buzz is indeed coming from the sunroof area on the driver side where lobux said. however, i checked that thing outside and it doesnt seem to be broken, it doesnt lift up. it seems normal yet still gettin that annoying buzz everytime i hit 90mph. i wish i could seal somethin up with something like silicon or sumn.

Mine just started doing that. It just went away on it's own?

They replaced my trim and the windshield. Damn the bad luck, I just had the old one nicely Rain-X'd.

Hmm... I gotta check mine tomorrow to see if my trim is broken too... I have the same high pitch buzzing noise when I go over 70 mph. In my opinion, it is coming from the top of the windshield... at least thats where I think the noise is loudest. I took it into the shop one time and the service dude took it out for a drive and said he didn't hear anything and blew me off. Oh well... thanks for the pics.

 

[imasaf]

forgot to ask this question... is replacing the trim and the windshield the only way to fix this?

 

[lo bux racer]

That's what warranty is for. I let them decide what they need to do.
