Does anybody else have a whistling noise in their taco when they hit 70 mph?

 

I just finished the entire article and thought the same thing. That whole development is fucked. I feel bad for those back in 1988 who bought land and had to foreclose b/c they never were able to fully build on it and couldn't sell it.

 

Okay, great. Do you have them in sizes? Or the dreaded "one size fits most"?

 

2nd Gen? I occasionally get it at that speed going into the wind. There are some write-ups on here on how people fix it.

Def gonna look for those it was whistling from dallas to waco yesterday and drove me nuts

 

My '11 used to whistle, if I was headed into the wind. Kind of annoying. I fixed it by driving in reverse on those days; backup camera was a godsend.

 

My 09 used to make a kazoo sound in certain cross winds. They did issue a TSB, but I thought they fixed that problem in the later years, so not sure if it's the same. TSB fix was to jam sealant under the windshield channel, or if they were doing it right, pop the windshield and re-seal it. As I recall some out of warranty people just jammed some rubber channel into the channel in the windshield seal and that fixed it.

 

Had a whistle whenever I had my EX on the back of my bike never quite figured it out..in all seriousness I have the same kazoo noise coming from my windshield the weather stripping is poking out needs to be addressed.

 

Said noise sound like a giant kazoo? Location happen to be the front, passenger door?

 

OMG!!! I had that and it drove us nuts on road trips.

So much we stopped taking the truck.

Fixed it with some plasticish tubing.

Cut a tiny slit in the rubber gasket and slide in about 2'

Never made a peep after that!

I'm not making these, TTC hats I will make tho.

Got them from this guy

Smooth transaction through and through

 

Thats where mine was!

 

Did I read correctly, that there are several still owned by individuals?

 

Yes that is what I understood

 

What size tubing? Where did you snip?

 

Or you could have put cotton balls in your ears to stop the wind from making it all the way through your cranium.

 

Yup

 

Poor bastards.
That land is tainted.






And guarded by jumping trees.

Mine too.
Stay tuned, @ChadsPride is gonna learn us something.

 

I think it was quarter inch IIRC

Will have to get pics of where I made the cut
