whistling noise after window replacement

mtxjohn · Jan 7, 2011

**EDIT** Does anyone have a whistling noise stock? To be honest I cant remember if it was there before the window was replaced? Please respond!

So some punks smashed my drivers window and broke into my car. I had the window replaced with PGW auto glass which is "supposed" to be the oem manufacturer. Kinda dumb because you can get a brand new OEM one for 144 online..but since its MN winter I had to get it done asap. Now I have a nice WHISTLING air noise starting about 45-50mph. Effing lame. Well the window didnt look like it was lined up while closing, so I adjusted it via the 2 mounting blots and shit-etsu greased the HELL out of the gaskets and window run channels. (which consequently the thing goes up and down SMOOTH now) but I still have the wind noise. its just noticeable with the radio off..anyone have similar problems do I just live with the noise?

The window needs to be adjusted.You have to pull off the door panel,roll down the window untill you get the bolt hole to line up with the bolt,losen the bolt then adjust the window and tighten it back up.It will take a few trys to get it perfect.Take the car up to highway speeds after each try.

I have this same problem. It drives me insane. At Highway speeds it gets kinda ear piercing like a really bad opera singer.

Do you adjust the window so it goes up higher into the top of the door?

Noise solved

Wow sorry I didnt post this sooner. I replaced the window run channel (45.00) which is the entire rubber gasket. Very easy. Youd think it was glued in-nope you just remove the glass (adjusting didnt help) and tear out old run channel, shin etsu the new one then reinstall. BAM!
