rear drawer install, now can hear air sound.

Installed outback 4wd interiors drawers on the weekend, went smoothly enough with a couple of quirks.

Initially back door would not close due to rear facing side panels. moved them back 5mm with some re-drilling of the side plates and its fine. Now it closes but when driving i can hear an air type noise. kind of like the rear door not closing and sucking air, or air passing over something.
Initially from the old seat removal there are some old bolt holes...I thought it was these and siliconed them up. Not sure if its better or not but the noise is still there.

anyone have any ideas.. I'm thinking.
1. there maybe more bolt holes I have not found yet that are exposed to the outside.
2. just more road/air noise because the tin floor is now exposed. I do not have the drawers in or the top panels. just the drawer chassis
3. door is still being held open slightly. i don't think its this as i put grease on the rubber and closed the door softly and it touches all the way around.

cheers.

Possibly vents at the rear are not covered as much now as the seats did allowing the noise thru??

Also potentially double check the rear door seal, this sometimes folds or does not sit properly if you have moved it during install.

Option 2.
You would've surprised how much the floor reduces noise.

I have my entire rear out of the car currently and it has heaps of noise.

Better to fart outside the car than in it !!! hahaha

Also be careful the cops don't stop you for possession of an offensive implement.

I'm going with road noise ;-)

Yep. I can also say that when the seats are removed and nothing there, there seems to be a lot more noise.

Just finally got all side panels and the sound deadening and floor back into mine.. OMG so quiet...
