Video and sound of my window seals howling

Yep same here. Must have used the same shitty door seals in the 3rd gens.

 

My dealer stuck in the LCA plugs less than a week before this video was taken. It's been doing this its whole life. I drive this road a few times a week

 

It's not very windy here

 

Yes, I brought a list of stuff with videos. Just said "it wasn't clear enough, could be another sound". I took him outside to the truck to rock the truck so he could see the recreated squeaky leafs...

 

Mods have to do a sticky for this. There is a fix. Take it into the dealership before you go nuts.

This problem has been around since 2005 as these videos prove.

I had it and almost lost my mind before I finally got it into the dealership with a video I took as evidence.

Oh, and the required Kazoo Kid video as posted in all of these threads.

 

See post #26. There is a fix for this. most dealers know about it. If Dealer A does not fix or make excuses then take to Dealer B.

2009-12 Tacomas. T-SB-0062-12. Exactly same problem.

 

Oh, and this video came up in the autoplay after the Kazoo Kid one.



Drops mic...exits thread.

 

The only time my truck made that noise was going over a bridge in Newport news during a really bad storm. It was a brutal crosswind.

I haven't heard it since.

 

Toyota will pay them to fix the issue when the issue isn't listed for my truck? I assume that will be their response

 

You have to take it in, with the video you took, and tell them how annoying it is. Mine started out slow but by the end it was doing it 80% of the time. I tried my own fixes which all failed. It drove me insane.

Thankfully I found the TSB on TW and that guys were taking the truck in to get it fixed.

Even if there is no TSB for the 3rd gens, this is still a fail on Toyota's part and is not normal for the truck or any vehicle to make such a noise. It should be covered in your bumper to bumper warranty. Use your video as evidence and play up how often it happens if you need to.

 

I get it on both windows driving at 70-75
