Subject:Re: Wind Noise?

A while back, wind noise was driving me crazy in my 81
Westy. I used residential weather stripping (good
black foam stuff) to seal forward "up/down" channel. I
simply pressed it into the channel, (you may need to
cut width to fit) and carefully rolled window up and
down a few times to seat it.

If you use this method, use a thickness that will let
the window actually wind up without binding or feeling
too tight to roll up. I don't recall thickness of
stripping.

I beleve there are vendors who sell replacment parts
for this. Mine was temporary fix, but is still
holding.

Cheers,

Neil.
