2013 sightseer 33c wind noise

There is significant wind noise in the cab, we still have chassis warranty. Will ford cover this under warranty? Considering resealing windshield and side windows.

    You would be surprised. I tried that once and the first rain I ended up with a wet wall and floor. Those holes are there for a reason.

    This is probably what you checked first, but are all the side window weep-hole covers in place? I had one come off in the middle of the drivers side window and it sounded like a wind tunnel.


    Yep I would start here as this post says, I would upload a pic but don't have one of the weep holes and the plastic cover for the weep holes, if they are missing it will be noisy..

  • enough to make it irritating. thought of using a smoke squeeze unit to try and find leaks.
  • All class A motorhomes have some wind noise, how much of a wind noise do you have.
  • It's not a Ford issue, it would be a Winnebago issue. What type of noise are you getting? If you can describe it or take it out and try to narrow it down others might be able to help. Dealership might as well, but of course they will charge you too.

    When the F53 is delivered to the manufacturer it looks like this (below) everything else built on top of the chassis is up to the manufacturer, in your case Winnebago.
