wind noise is crucial when my windows are even cracked open. if i have my stereo off on the highway it is VERY noticable. I dont think our cars are insulated very well

No wind noise at all here. Do you know where it's coming from? Do you have one of those 3' tall park bench spoilers on?

ok guys i have this problem as well and i learn a trick from a local automotive repair guy


1. find the source of the air, mine was my passengerside door
2. roll down the window
3. open the door
4. put your knee on the panel near the edge of the door towards the flat part and the biggest part of the door
5. hold on the corner near the edge of the door and pull towards you a couple of times
6. pull hard enough but not too hard, i did this to my car 2 days ago and fixed my air leak

I get none, i'm actually suprised by how little there easy, I also like how very little wind gets inside the car w/ windows down. I can light up a smoke at about 80 w/ the windows down

I'm getting a small amount of noise from my driver's window. It's not too bad, but I've never been able to correct it (nor has the dealer).

IT's so quiet.....I drive an RSX right now cuz my car is at the dealer fixing something, and the RSX is damn loud on the freeway...I miss the peace and quiet in my CL -_-

RSX is pretty slow IMO...I can hit 125+ easily in my 3.0...but the RSX struggled to 110. It's a fun car to mash on though

<- was watching speedTV and saw these guys..

they were using a machine that shot out steam.

they shot it in the corners of the doors and steam would come out

of the closed door. after that, they used this silly putty looking stuff

it went behind the rubber lining of the doorjamb. it would stop the steam

for coming out . another trick is to open your window and close the

door with a 20 wedged in there and move it around. When the

bill is stuck you gotta use the sticky tack stuff .. I dont know how the

$ bill trick works, but the steam shit looked cool

I was getting noise from my passenger door. I used the knee in the door technique and it worked for a little while. But now the noise is back. I'm just scared to do that, I dont want to hurt my car.

I've noticed that the wind noise in my 98 3.0 is a little louder on the highway than I might expect.

Its no big deal though and its been this way since new.

I really notice it after I drive in my dad's Lexus and you could hear a pin drop in that thing.

I have this problem in my passenger side window...I found that after you roll the window up.....push back down on the button for like a half second so the window just moves like an eighth of an inch back down and it usually dramatically decreases the wind noise.
