How much wind noise do you guys get from your windows? I have brand spanking new seals on everything and have adjusting the windows and I still get a heck of a lot of window noise from my windows. I know its not going to be perfect from a 30 year old car. I don't mind it to much but passengers always complain.

Is this just what you get, or is there something I am missing that I should do?

 

I get a LOT of wind noise from my windows....

But I never drive with my windows up either lol so I guess it doesnt count?

The only time my Camaro comes out to play is when its sunny and dry

 

have you replaced the triangle seals, because when i swapped some new ones in my noise inside dropped dramatically

 

:lol that is normally the case. But there is that rare occasion...

Oh yes, that helped HUGELY but still...pretty good amount of noise coming from the seals

 

yeah, i know alot of noise comes from a slightly too large door fender gap that could be causing it, but if its not a major issue i wouldnt treat it like one

 

I didn't have any trouble after I installed new weatherstripping,I Have to crack the window to close the doors because it's sealed so tight.

 

A lot!

 

I have a little bit with my GTA. It's got all original gaskets, and the windows are a little sloppy. The IROC is nice and quiet. The window tracks are tight, and I've got sof-seal window/t-top gaskets.

 

It's definitely not a HUGE issue. But it is slightly annoying.

I put this weather stripping on about 6 months ago. It was really tight when I first put it on but its gradually gotten loose. I am wondering if the rails the weather strip rides on need to be replaced. Because they did get bent when up when the car was taken apart for paint..

That's not too surprising for original weather strip though.

 

Where did you buy your triangle seals to make the windows a lot quicker

 

ebay, they were 32 dollars shipped and there made by sofseal

 

1Aauto. Wouldn't buy em anywhere else!

 

a careful window alignment/adjustment will do the trick.sometimes ,depending on what condition your door hinges are in,you have to also tweak the door to aperature alignment.i have the original weatherstripping and when i got my car there was wind noise out the a#@ .i rebuilt the window regulator ect and now its very quiet

 

Thank you. I replaced all my weatherstripping except for the triangle seals. So now I'm going to try replacing the triangle seals. What other adjustments can be made.

 

I get lots of noise from the area around my mirrors/triangle seals, but by just looking at them they look okay. I'll probably go ahead and replace them anyways.

 

there kin of a problem area on thirdgens, mine are new, all the weather stripping is however its just a bad design, airs gonna get in an make noise, nothing short of ajusting the doors way too high will stop it, which reminds me i need to adjust my doors again and tighten the bolts

 

Nearly none...original 1988 IROC-Z L98 car.

 

lucky

 

Very little wind noise on my 88, but the road noise makes up for it. Mostly original stripping except for the lower window seals.

 

Could barely hear the passenger before I replace the weather stipping for the T-Tops. Took a bit of work, but it was well worth it!

 

None.......

 

I've always either got the windows down, or the stereo up so loud that it drowns out the wind noise anyways haha.

 

Mine has very little wind noise... all old factory seals and sagging doors and everything.

 

Mine used to be deafening above 80mph. It turned out to be the centre bar, which holds the T-tops down. It had lifted slightly, allowing the tops to rise at speed. Bonded back in properly now, much better

 

My 89 is super quiet. My 97 firechicken sounds like a freakin prop plane with no windows, 75 mph i cant talk to my wife sitting next to me...

 

completely silent until i get about 80 km/h then its ridiculous, I prefer just driving down the highway with the windows open..

 

None, with 26 yo seals and slight gaps at the tops of the windows. Fuel pump is louder, and exhaust drowns them both out completely.

 

Your post really caught my eye lol!!!! My husband and I fly P51 Mustangs and do many airshows....We also have a small used car lot of 3rd gens. On my daily driver I have to admit....theres more wind noise in that car then there is in a P51 Mustang in a straight dive!!!! I would hope new weather stripping would eliminate all noise. Even though the car is 20 something years old...the shape shouldnt have changed....therefore youd think new weather stripping....if installed right would make it sound new. If not....Im not sure Id want to spend the small fortune to have mine replaced!

 

well weatherstripping alone wont do it, the doors need to be perfectly aligned, if you have ttops there weather stripping needs to be good, make sure the car sits in the sun for a good while take the ttops out for a few minutes, then put m back in after an hour or so in the sun, i dont take mine out much, personally i just like the idea of glass as a roof and being able to see the sky and anyways........also the (idk what to call them) rubber/foam blocks at either end of the doors need to be in good shape, mine are kinda chewed up, idk where the hell to get new ones, or cheap window sweeps for that matter. all needs to be good because it'll all let in wind/water/ice frozen locks because your window sweeps are rotted away sucks, so i no longer lock my doors

 

Funny cause I have very little wind noise in my car, then again my door panels have never been off and I'm sure that the big clear seal that covers the regulator and everything else under the panels might have a lot to do with it, cause I know when most people do any kind of work in the door those things never seal back up right and some people even just rip it off, I work in a dealer and have been in cars after a tech didn't put/seal it back and you can hear wind coming in, new cars by the way.

 

taped mine back on after i put in a new window/regulator

 

I made new water shields with heavy duty FEMA plastic, even used FatMat under the door panels. I still hear wind noise, but like I said, most of it is around the mirrors.

 

do you know the foam/rubber "blocks" i'm talking about, it could be them if there a little torn up

 

Down side of having rimless windows. I've noticed that almost all sports cars with rimless windows are a bit noisy inside. Minus these new ones that actually self seal when you close the door. Like the Corvettes and newer BMW's

 

I got very frustrated trying to chase down a loud wind noise from pax side of the kids car after new door and T-top seals and adjustment, which is what I thought the noise was. Turns out the pax mirror was hit or bumped inward, making the air gap smaller. Isn't really noticeable until you start looking close and comparing to driver side. Going to have to tweak this at next door disassembly...

 

Wait...is this with or without my Ford-loving buddy riding along?

 

mine has a lot of windnoise as well. i have gotten most other work done and im about to do an engine swap. but after the engine swap is done i want to get all the weather stropping done. and i need to get the door pins and bushings. and then align the windows correctly. man i think my wife is going to cut something off before i ever finish my car LOL!!!!!!!!

 

It was extemely worth it to replace the T-Top Gasket. Quite a few to choose from on eBay. Fairly easy to do as well. Just take your time to clean out the old gasket and adhesive from the car, then put the new one in. I thought for sure the sound was coming from the bottom of the windshield, but after the new gasket, there was nothing but the purring engine...beautiful sound

 

I get some kind of whistling. Sounds like I'm riding on a jet, only not as loud.
Its not loud enough to be annoying, though I'd prefer no wind noise while on the road.

 

my camaro rides extremly, but my doors and windows rattle lik the damn thing has 300k,

 

that sounds ike the vacuum module behind the hvac controls has a leak

adjust them, those little things that hold it upright, and the door itself

 

Mine after I get over 30 starts getting loud.... Then at about 65 70 you couldnt hear someone talk or your own voice :P

 

""Wait...is this with or without my Ford-loving buddy riding along?""

lol

 

Or:

How much wind noise is in your cockpit?

Depends what I've eaten

boom boom
