Default Wind noise coming from rear windows

Thanks to SeattleGS400 and others, I have almost eliminated all wind noise. I plugged up the undercarriage, which eliminated the "wind noise" coming from the A-pillars. I also secured the moon roof drainage tubes so they just barely extend out of the holes in the rear wheel wells. Here's a simple but effective suggestion to all of you who have pulled up the drainage tubes only to find that they dropped back down after a few days. First, from the inside of the trunk, pull the tubes out completely. Tightly wrap a rubber band around each tube about 2 feet up. Stick each tube back through the hole inside the trunk and make sure it protrudes well through the drainage hole into the wheel well. Wrap a second rubber band around the very end of protruding end of the tube. From the inside of the trunk, pull the tube up through the trunk until the rubber band at the bottom of the tube stops it from coming up further. Lastly, from the inside of the trunk, slide the top rubber band down to the point of insertion. Those tubes won't move, and the tire/wind noise should be all but gone from the back. Hope this helps.
