Default Windnoise SOLUTION!!!!!!

If you are experiencing wind noise from your windows here is a solution.....

Take some window tint (assuming your windows are not tinted), and line the top of the windows with tint that match the window gaskets. This eliminated all wind noise from the side windows for me!!!!!!!! and saved the 2 bills the dealer wanted to readjust the gaskets and reinstall the weatherstripping.

next step-- sunroof...heheheh

I believe I've also heard that the right rubber treatment can help to recondition the gaskets, I think there was one brand in particular that was recommended but I don't recall what it was. You could try searching in the detailing forum, or checking the detailing tutorials, I think I saw it in one of those two places.
