jedidaveh Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I've seen the video on the wind noise fix with rubber spline but I am struggling to find the rubber spline anyone any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 For the rubber triangles where the mirrors are ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedidaveh Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 No around the Windows. It fits behind the original seals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Hmm not too sure to be honest [emoji55] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedidaveh Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Not to worry stants I'm sure I will find it somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountaingoat Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Ive managed to cure the wind noise issue on my 03 Forester by getting a large pair if grips and a cloth and gently squeezing the A frame together. I mean the bit at the front of the door where the wing mirrors are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedidaveh Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Thanks for that MG but my noise is coming from the top of the window. The rubber has lost a bit of its elasticity with age and the spline looks like a quick and easy fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooklands Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 have you thought about using zymol seal.....it rejuvenates soft rubber seals, ...i used some on my forester door seals with good effect it's about £30 a bottle.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peejay Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 This YouTube vid may be the answer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHKLN0JAvUg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedidaveh Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Cheers peejay that's the one I've seen. Just can't find the spline lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swayze88 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Jedidaveh, I too am suffering some wind noise in my SG, and have yet to find the spline discussed in the video. On Thursday I went to B&Q and could not find it so bought some very small rubber tubing, similar to the hose that runs for the window squirters, I put it in the same place as the chap does in the video, but it has not seemed to work :( Just thought I would let you know in case like me you end up on the experimental route. Good luck finding the spline, and let us know if you ever do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathanbuzzard Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 HI, I have the typical wind noise from the wing mirrors and would like to simply buy new rubbers/gaiters, can you buy them as a pair and any idea's of where ? online shopping preferred. Local dealer would only replace them as a complete thing with mirrors and all...crazy money...Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cundus Maximus Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Try a strip of door/window seal, (comes as roles of different rubbers or foam strips) in the fold between the layers, and to keep the rubbr soft try the Sonax rubber care stick from Amazon, it's only a fiver, the Zymol is good but you need a mortgage to afford it!

Magnuskk Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I did 4 things and the noise is almost completely gone. 1)Put some tube in the inner side of the rubber 2)put a smaller diameter tube on the outer side of the rubber. 3)Sealed the holes on the gusset (behind the tweeter trim) 4) Adjusted the window to be as high up as possible but still be able to open the door: I will replace the gussets at some point but the bove things have reduced noise up to 90% even at high speeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theador Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Mole grips worked for me. But I do now need to do the B pillar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
