Everyone out there with convertables, Have you notice that when you go above 40MPH you can hear wind whistling through the windows.
My does it and I tried to put tape around the windows edge and it helps, but now I don't want to be driving around with a taped window. So is there any insulation or any other options? |

It's a vert, you'll never fix that.
Sorry, jus the truth. A certain amount of it is actually wind going over the canvas top

There are things you can do. The most productive solution is to take it to a place that specializes in convertible tops and have them replace all the seals and adjust the alignment. I get very little wind noise in mine.

I have some luck with opening and the closing the windows if you have opened that door. It doesnt eliminate the problem, but it helps a bit for me.
But as said, its a vert, you have to live with it. -------------------- Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it... |

I will also add that the top has an adjustment where it clamps down. I had the same wind problem and adjusted the top and that helped a bit. i actually cant hear the wind because my stereo is so fooking loud.....even with the top down

lol, i couldnt adjust mine, i noticed when i bought the car that it was possible, but the threads were all rusted so i just added cardboard to the hooks for it to clamp harder and it worked.
the window wind is unfixable if your seals are bad, and oh yea.....its a vert:P |
