mnstrmech Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I noticed no one really discusses wind noise issues with the older models... I been researching the issues with wind noise and torn material on the mirror gusset and found most of the complaints in forums for model years around 2000 and up. Now, i would assume that our older models having many more miles and age would have more problems?.... idk?... But i've had torn mirror gussets and wind noise above 45mph since i've had the car (almost 20 months) and FINALLY figured out a cheap fix!! Wish i would've thought of this a long time ago!!

Its not perfect, but no more wind noise and looks not bad either.... for a 20 year old car! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnstrmech Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 oh ya, forgot to put down i removed both front door seals (then ones running the bottom of the door) and put 1/4" id clear tubing inside the seal so it seals better. Did that to an old car and it made a world of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
