You know what I'm talking about? Those plastic moldings you see on some cars that go around the top of the window frames. Do they actually reduce wind noise, or are they just warts?

Also, I read that the 2002 TL has "improved soundproofing" versus the 99-01 models, which includes dampening materials but also "improved aerodynamics". What is this supposed to refer to? The shape of the sideview mirrors? I do find that most of the wind noise in my 2000 TL seems to be coming from them. If that is the case, is it possible to get 2002 TL-P mirrors fitted onto my 2000 TL, or is the difference just not worth it?

they are for looks mostly, and rarely for those that smoke, and want to be able to have a crack open when its raining. i dont smoke, but sometimes i also like to have a crack open vs. having ac going. check out my gallery, i have them on both my 00TL and 02TLS. as far as wind-noise, they actually generate more windnoise, as they stick out from the more aerodynamic shape of the car. but they look awesome. too lazy to go and post links, just go through my sig.
