Ohwell/Simon - well known issue with GT and 147 and p*sses me off. Does it sound as though its coming from the area where the A-pillar/dash meets (seems worse in hot weather or if blowing hot air) - if so take out carefully the air vent that runs under the windscreen - its the bolt on the off side (nearest A-pillar) thats the issue - seems to be because its too short or because the rubber washer needs silcon lube. I have improved the situation by lubing the washer, adding another washer and tightening the bolt but it tends to come back within days. Going to try a longer bolt next.
