The wind noise in my new mystique is a little more than I like. It doesn't appear to show any problem, but is annoying. It sounds just like there's too much getting into the engine bay.
The hood's flush, the grille is original, and there's a ... ummm ... little less than a 1/4 inch ... maybe less ... gap between the lights and the bumper.
Any tips on lessening this noise, maybe filling the gap with a soft rubber strip or similar.

Just crank up the volume on those 20 watt Ford speakers and relax. Drowns out everything from wind, family, police sirens and people honking their horns.

The noise in the SVT cabin is overwhelming at times (like @130mph  ) but is constantly greater than what I have noticed in other vehicles (Mazda 626, Olds Alero, or even my buddies Taurus...  )...Crank the tunes!!

I just realized today too, that the panel isn't on the hood, I'm guessing replacing that will help....or is it not provided on the Mystique ??

Ummm....not sure exactly what it is called. The plastic thing that fits beneath the metal of the hood itself.
I'll check and see if I can find exactly what I mean.

not sure what u mean either. i've got some rubber strip on part of it. and many contours have a matting on the hood for fire retardation/noise reduction, though mine didn't have it when i bought it.

That's the stuff. Isn't the matting attached to a black plastic covering under the hood ?? Kind of like a panel you can remove.
