Wind Noise In 97 Es300

[alain1]

Guys, I need you help

I bought a used ES 300 wich had a minor accident on the left side. It is fixed bow, but the plastic cover between the front and back windows are missing. the wind noise is very high. If I need to change tha plastic cover I need to remove the rubber seal because it is also damaged. How easy it is to change it my self ??

I just installed new ones last week. The weatherstrip should be very easy to install.

I know some of the ES years have wind noise. Can't stop it.

When I changed mine I did not need any new rubber.

If want some used ones I will sell you my 2 for $5 plus shipping.

the problems is people close the door by the window and it gets out of alliment. so its not the rubber but the glass.

you can try putting suff behing the weather stripping to build it up a little and start yelling at people when they close your door by the window.

Yeah, never slam the doors on the ES or close it with the window (90 - 01 models). :(
