NO NO NO DON'T REMOVE THE FILM!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!

Yup got me stumped?????
I do need to look at a 2023 Mazda and see about the weird none matting body parts area in the picture?

The other thing is generally I don't get into thread helping that really needs to be IN THE REAL WORLD for diagnosing things. I HATE GUESSING!!!!

 

No worries. Yeah, impossible to diagnose online. Just didn’t know if anyone else had run into this and found the answer.

I’ll update on here after the dealer gives their 2 cents.

 

It can't be ??? because the film seems to be rougher than the original varnish.

 

Crank up the stereo...

I very much doubt it is a problem with 2023 CX5s .Mine has the windows tinted and has no film and is quiet as a tomb ,even at highway speeds. It is one of the things I like about the CX5.

 

Exactly. Mine was as well, which is why it has been so disappointing to now have excessive wind noise all the time.

 

Did you check the rubberize foam insulator in the doors to see if they got pushed back into the fender by accident ? There is also foam insulators under the hood where the hinge is you should check as well.

I know I am reaching at this point with idea's.....

 

So dealer looked it it, but it is raining today, so they couldn’t hear the noise. They said seals look normal. So that was a waste of time.

 

You say that you had the windows tinted. Has anyone checked the seals around the window glass? A miniscule gap will cause a lot of wind noise. Close the windows and put some low adhesive painters tape around the window edges on the inside and go for a drive. If the noise goes away, the installer should be able to cut the tint back enough to give a better seal without affecting the visible tint. PPF on the hood, bumpers and headlights couldn't cause any wind noise that you'd be able to hear.
