Does anyone hear a lot of wind noise while driving?

Not on my Georgetown dual pane windows.

I did just read a thread where someone found the wind noise was coming from the window drain or weep holes. If you see any, see if covering them helps.

A sound level app for your phone while moving the microphone around the windows might reveal the source also.

FWIW,

No but my V 10 does make some noise climbing large hills the RPM's are there for sure. Not sure you could heard any wind noise over that LOL.

WHAT?????

Oh goodness yes -
Vents, areas where the dash meet up with the front window, Overhead Bunk, drivers side and passenger side windows, fireplace (on my 33DS) and my favorite the rattle screen door.
I've tried to minimize with the following. Stuff some foam in the cracks near the dash/window, installed 2 braces to hold up the bunk (see mods), have not figured out my driver & passenger windows, I remove the fireplace glass when driving & use silicone caulk around the kick panel of the screen door.

Reposting from another thread......


After plugging all the holes in the front firewall to reduce the cold air we still had considerable wind noise from the front windows. Well believe it or not it was the 4 weep holes on each window. I covered all holes with electrical tape and wind noise is almost none! Of course I got tired of taking off the tape when washing or driving in the rain so started looking for a permanent solution. Called HEHR window support and found out they make "weep hole covers"! They sent a set for free but they didn't fit. Local dealer tried to order them specifically for the FR3 HEHR windows and received the same ones.


The ones they sent where to long and held into the slots with 2 small tabs. I finally sanded down those tabs on each end and they snapped in! Noise issue resolved, we can actually hold a conversation with the radio on! Hope that helps!

Had the same problem with wind noise on my 2017 FR3 30 DS. It was the weep holes. I purchased the correct covers from Pelland Enterprises. I believe the part # was H109-916. Contact info is 800-216-2786 or www.pellandent.com and search for Hehr Weep Hole Cover. Good luck.

How many did you use? Do they sell them as “each”?

They sell them by the each and I had 8 slots on my 2017 FR3 between the drivers and passenger side cockpit windows. You will just have to look at your windows and count the slots as they are different depending on the model year.
