Default how to get rid of wind noise at high speeds?

ok it may be an obvious fix but i have major wind noise at high speeds. I can feel the leak on the seals around the windows. Does anyone else have this occur or just something ihave to live with?

Well, my understanding the side windows bow out at high speed (120 +) and that why there is the clip at the top to prevent the window from really blowing out.

Now if high speed is 90, a window tip in adjustment can help along with insuring your weatherstrips are soft/ fresh and the weatherstrips are properly aligned and seated.

The service manual offers some guidance in the weatherstrip seating/ sealing.

You should hear the windows in an F-body at 140-160 mph. It gets really loud. :D

I had this problem on my 01 and it required a new batch of window weatherstripping. Silicone grease helped a bit, but it became silent after the old strips were replaced. I went silent when I saw the bill from the dealer, and hate the fact that the drivers side is starting to get it too. :(

:thumbs: Ride On :chevy

Slow down :leaving:
I believe Rockgt302 is correct :lol: This is not intended as a slam, but when I'm moving at Warp 6, I don't notice the wind noise - I'm too focused on driving the car.

Enjoy the ride :cheers:
