Has anyone had major wind noise to the point of annoyance? I'm not sure where it is coming from but anytime I'm over 45mph it is like I'm in Wyoming. It's either the windshield and/or both door A pillar seals. I've put in a service request. We'll see what happens.

Maybe some minor noise if there are strong cross winds. Otherwise it's pretty much silent.

I’ve heard of many other reviewers complaining of this as well from the passenger side. Kyle from Out of Spec included.
He also noted it wasn't there on his "family" member's.

Seems like there are some consistency issues with the weather stripping or something.

I recall seeing a thread on this topic as well as I have the issue and I'm a late build. Search is pulling up a bunch of irrelevant results.

I got mine on Wednesday and took a trip to Columbus and back Thursday. Anything over about 60 the wind noise does creep in. I am getting noise from the top of both driver and passenger windows. I ended up with another problem in that my driver modes will not go out of All Purpose due to an overheated compressor. There is a blue fluid leak which likey is the root cause. It is going back to service and at that time I have asked them to check the weatherstripping on the two windows for leaks, and hence the noise.

Doesn't mean they aren't issues. Granted, not major issues, but something. I think people should share their experiences good and bad, even if some of the bad is minor. The leaky blue fluid I might be more worried about, somewhere I saw a post describing some of the colors of the fluids Rivian uses, I don't recall what blue fluid might be.

This was from a different thread, but apparently these are the various fluid colours

When I talked with the service rep I told him Hydraulic Damper fluid was my suspicion and he concurred. I mentioned it could be as simple as a ferrule not crimped enough onto the hose. I will let you know what they find. So far, they could not have been nicer.
