My driver's window whistle solution

I saw another post about the driver's window whistling as I had found mine doing. In that post they ran a piece of tape across the triangular shroud and against the window.

In looking closer I decided to do something similar but just wrap some black electrical tape around the edge of plastic piece and the rubber window gasket with window down then roll window up. Doing this completely eliminated the whistle as well.

Right now it temporary but it appears there's something about the edge of the plastic which causes the whistling and covering it up makes it go away.

For now this will work for me. Thought I would pass it along.

 

? I don't see in your picture what it is that you did -

My green circle is better than your arrows

 

Bahaha yup!

 

My arrows are more printer friendly than your green-ass circle. Wait, that's not a circle!

 

Was yours whistling like the sound you hear when you've go a window cracked just a bit?

 

i just turn up my music

 

Nice fix it!
While I don't have that problem, it looks like some panels maybe off specs for whatever reason, and causing aggravation to some. I'd take it to get it replaced if still under warranty.

Cheers!

 

well, I value my hearing, so that's a nonstarter. I'd rather fix a problem than mask it with harmful behavior.

 

You must not have that loud of a whistle. Mine even with the music blasting at freeway speeds it overpowers everything else

 

The couple times I have had the wind noise coming from passenger side, it turned out to be the window had not closed all the way. Took another bump of the switch to get the sucker to seat correctly. Solving the wind noise. At least in my case.

 

100% going to try this. Mine only does it between 35-50mph which is most of my city driving but man does it drive me crazy. May try to get them warranty replace it if thats whats causing the noise.

 

If it is only between 35 -50 it's probably your lower control arms,have you ever fixed that or had the TSB ?

I have not but i will look into it. Quick google search and i found the toyota service paperwork on it. I'll bring it up at my service appointment this week. Thanks!

 

mine probably isn't as loud as most people's...it's a very slight whistle.
