<P>I have the same problem myself. If I pull the lever in the whistle stops. Only way I can see to stop it is to replace the seal. However in the mean time I plan to cut a piece of an aluminium can and shim it behind the lever. This should take care of it for the winter.</P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;Not very . . . precise that is! :^) Coming from the window. If I pull (or
<DIV></DIV>&gt;push) on the lever that latches the wind wing, the whistling noise changes. If
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I open it, the whistling stops . . . followed, of course, by the in-rush of
<DIV></DIV>&gt;cold outside air! Brrrrr . . .
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I'll check my Bentley . . .
<DIV></DIV>&gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Thanks,
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Marc Perdue

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Is the whistling coming from the window or the door seal? Check the Bently
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; for a fix on this. I recall seeing something about a fix for this somewhere
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; (how's that for precise?).
