Hello,

I was wondering if I could get someone to help me answer a question. I own a 93 850 GLT and recently a buzzing noise started under the driver side dash, which sounds very much like an insect. It seems to be correlated to the engine speed. i.e. louder/faster when the car is going 40 + miles per hour. Conversely it stops when the car is under about 30 miles an hour and at rest. I've seen a couple of posts about a similar problem, but never found out how or if they were able to solve the problem. Does anybody have any ideas? I'd really like to see if I can get this problem resolved as I'm sure my wife is ready to quit driving around with me if I don't find a solution....

Wow,

Thanks for your help, that is exactly what it was.

The black trim that runs horizontally across the top of the windshield is weak
and starts buzzing around 30-40 mph, it get soft and not fit as tight with age.
I had to replace mine and it is very simple to install... snaps into place
>5 min.job. $20 something at the dealer.

I used to have exactly the same problem/symptoms and it took me a little while
to locate the source of that noise

Hope this helps

mack:
this may sound unbelievable but is your roof-rail peeling? if so, the peeled part or black tape-like material tends to flutter/vibrate furiously with the wind especially at 40+ mph. i was hearing a similar noise the first week i bought my 855. i thought it was something in the engine. so, before you open the dash, see if it is the roof rail. roll down the window and feel the rail along the A pillar and the top of the door. see if you feel the vibration.
