Wind Noise is Making Me Crazy
I have had my 01' AE Max about 2 weeks (and 2500kms) now and generally have no complaints about the car..It was everything I expected for the $$ and despite what some say about the car..I love the looks...any ways the one thing that is driving me nuts is the wind noise on the highway..I am having a hard time pinpointing it because it sounds like it's coming from everywhere. If I had to guess at the origins I would say from the front mirrors and from the rear windows..Has anyone managed to minimize all wind noise probs in their max? If so how did you do it?

basically, you're gonna need a windsock

The wind-noise TSB only fixes a small bit of what you are hearing. In general, wind-noise in the Maxima is louder than in a lot of other cars. That's just the way it is. My father-in-law's 2000 Buick LeSabre is quiet as a tomb. Of course it handles like a whale and weighs about that much, too.
