Wind noise

BeepBeepJeepJeep · **Posted:** Mon Feb 18, 2008 10:33 pm

I got my passenger side front window replaced a month or so ago because someone broke in to my Jeep. Ever since the window was replaced, I hear some wind noise... Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Thanks.

adjust the volume on the radio until you can no longer hear the wind :lol:

Thats a wrangler answer

Two possibilities that I can think of.
1st: door alignment is off.
2nd: Most likely the window gasket doesn't sit tight against the new glass. If the window was replaced with an insurance claim, try and see if you can get the gasket replaced. If not the cheap fix would to buy a roll of the adhesive backed door or window seal gasket from Lowes/HD and place it between the flat part of the gasket and the door to push the gasket down tighter to the window.

Unfortunately it wasn't an insurance claim... Deductables suck.

Check for any broken glass still stuck in the window seal and tracks.

I saw a little trick on TRUCKS TV on the SPIKE Channel, for just this type of problem My passanger front window makes noise also so give this trick a try.
First lower window then in the closes point to where it connects to the car or truck.
Second place your knee squarely into the door
Third grab the top of the door and pull the door towards you
Do this several times untill you feel you have tweeked your door to stop the air passing sound.
I have tried this it works temporarily but I just retweek the door from time to time and I'm please with the results.
If you have further questions just ask. :twisted:

On the show they put a dollar bill inbetween the seal and the door first and when the bill didn't slide out easy anymore they called the job done

I will go look for glass now since it's easy, if there's nothing I'll give the other stuff a try in the morning... On second thought, I'd rather have the windnoise than tweak my door :-P

Edit: No dice

Also, I don't remember how much I paid for the window... I'd have to look it up..

I get a bit of sizzling noise from the doors. Nothing much, just a slight whisper. I gather it has more to do with the design of the doorhandle than the window itself.

I haven't heard your noise, but mine is clearly audible only when driving against the wind in a certain angle. It does not bother me as it is very subtle.

Rush345 is spot on with his tweak the door suggestion.I've done that on several vehicles with mucho success.

I get a bunch of noice from my passenger door on really windy days when I travel down the expressway above 65MPH. I might try this door bending trick to see if that will increase the seal pressure for me.

Have you tried taking it back to the place that replaced it? Just a thought.

In KY ALL autoglass is replaced WITHOUT deductible. I am suprised that they would not replace yours.

It's the same here in MN. If it was covered by INS or not which is wasn't in this case I would still take it back to the place that did the work the first time.
