I’ve read a lot of threads but not this idea of filling in this A Piller spot.

Can someone tell me where exactly tha opening is on onside of the van. 

I may be confused as to the A Piller.  I’ve not found a open spot leading up into the van.

Thanks for tips, note to any new members I’m blind so need a verbal description not a picture or link to a picture.

Thanks,

Foam can be put in the bottom to reduce this noise, see this link: http://www.t3-infos.de/t3-infos_d.html#wgummis  It is in German, but you can use google translate if you don't understand it.

When I remove the dash to replace the heater blower I put FatMat sound deadener on the nose panel, I reseal all the fresh air hoses. I also put FatMat on the door panels and all other side panels too. It quiet down quite a lot, say about 50% but wind noise is still there. Keep in mind that a vanagon is not a luxury sedan/SUV or modern van. I am a classical guitarist and I am very sensitive to noises/sounds and the such.
