Dr. Zevil Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I just got back from a trip to Northern Wisco.. and I didn't hear any noise whatsoever. Perhaps this only plagues a certain number of vehicles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttlejockey Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Did you have the window down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Zevil Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I have had the window down on many occasions and haven't noticed anything major. Only perhaps a very very slight "whislting". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindflayer Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 [quote name='Max Capacity']My son thinks that a piece of weather striping should work. It will be sticky on one side and seal the gap on the other side.[/quote] I was test driving the Legacy GT yesterday, and did not notice any whistling. Maybe I'll be a lucky one when I buy. :) I think weather-stripping is a great idea. Ensure it's of good quality, though, and won't mar your finish.

Deer Killer Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 [quote name='Throttlejockey']Fixed the whistle! In the first pic the yellow is the factory grease. I just used a 1/8" wide strip of foam with adhesive on one side. I would say the foam is around 1/16" thick.[/quote] Maybe this should go in the modifications area? This has been pissing me off lately too, I didn't realize someone already posted a solution... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPR3472 Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I checked mine today on the highway from 60-90 mph and heard no wind noise at all. Guess I am one of the lucky ones! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enlight Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 I didn't notice the sound the first week, perhaps something shifted a little between then and now? muFreight.co A JDM Container Sharing Service from Japan to NYC Website | Instagram | Email Bessie II's Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
