What is the best approach to eliminate or reduce wind noise in a 1988 suburban. The seals are good shape. The problems is that it was noisy new and still is today. I have seen some people switch the side mirrors out. Does this help? Also, would the plastic vent pieces that go around the windows help. You know the ones that allow you to roll the window down an inch or so. I really do not want to go this route but I want the noise reduced. Thanks for your input. BranZ

It's the vent wings.

First thing that irritated me when I bought my 88 Burb last year. They don't seal and on mine it appears that there is rust blistering under the rubber at the tops. My 79 Blazer didn't do this. My 79 also had a rubber strip the sealed the gap beween the door and the body along the windsheld area. I been meaning to stop buy the parts store and see if I could find some stick on gasket stuff and try to make that seal like the 79 had. From what I have heard they only did that for a couple years and it was factory. Taking it to Florida next week. See if I can do it before then and see what results I get.
