It is a known and common complaint , here is a sample of many with that fault .

" Bought my first Seat Arina in April, and very satisfied with the value for money.

However, a massive problem has developed and don't know if I am being fobbed off by Seat - about 3 months ago I began to notice wind noise from the drivers side window area, I took it into the Seat garage I purchased it from and went on a test drive with their technician who agreed there was a definite noise. When we returned to the garage we took a new Arona out and this had a similar noise. Seat said the noise was on all Seat Aronas.

2 weeks ago I took it back as it was getting worse, and left it with the garage for testing, when I returned they said they had given it a test run, and spoke t :| o Seat, who confirmed the noise existed on all Aronas and couldn't help further, and was given the advice to test drive future cars at 70mph to listen for noises

I would suggest that unless you enjoy wind noise, akin to driving with the window open, you avoid the Arona until Seat rectifies the problem "

Hi, thanks for that, this is what I feared, car is going in to garage on Monday, and now I’m not holding out much hope. Thanks for the insight, cheers
