Re: Wind noise-Front doors only-Problem ID'd-Need Fix

[quote=twomorestrokes]If you find a fix let me know.QUOTE]

You need to treat the rubber seals with some sort of silicon based spray (or wipe on) per GM specs. This keeps the rubber soft and supple. A hard rubber gasket will not seal wind noise. And old trick you can do (but may void warranty) and I do not accept any responsibility is this:

Take a little bit of brake fluid (clean) on to a rag. Wipe the rubber seals down with it. and wipe off any excess. Then use another rag with some silicon to ttreat the rubber. This will "swell" up the rubber gaskets and treat them.

Your door may need to be adjusted as well. You can adjust the door striker bolt on door jamb to make the door slam "tighter" by moveing striker "in" just a tick or two.

These are just a couple of "fixes" that I thought of.
