Wind Noise

[ek amigo]

Just wondering if there is any aftermarket add ons or anything that might help cut down the wind noise around the quarter windows , pillar area . I know aerodynamics were not high on the list back then , but I do remember some sort of perspex add ons.

Turn up your radio

G'day Amigo,

Turn up your radio

Are your quarter vent seals new? Old seals which ahve pulled away, even slightly, make a terrible whistling racket at freeway speed. A quick check can be done by putting some PVC insulation tape over the seals and going for a drive.

You can still buy aftermarket perspex windshields for the FB/EK, though I am not sure how much they reduce noise (mine are still in a box waiting for the EK to finally get on the road):

kia ora Harv , and thanks Trev , you'd have a fair bit of banjo music on 8 track down in the thaggi to listen too in the car I would reckon.
HaHa , will try the seal trick , otherwise I suppose Trev's got the answer.

Most likely culprit is the quarter window, I find if you crack it open just enough the whistle stops and the wind noise is minimal...

Then I turn the radio up!

Thanks Devilrod will give it a try

I got sick of the banjo music so I got some strip rubber with a sticky side and sealed the quarter vent windows and they still make some noise, so up goes the banjo music again .
