Anyone done the Wind Noise TSB themself?
My warranty just ran out about 500 miles ago and I am just now starting
to hear the wind noise coming from the rear windows. Strange I never heard it before, probably because I had the music blasting. Anyway, has anyone done this themselves? I know the TSB has a diagram and writeup, but I wanted to know of the results of other peoples attempts. Out.

Its very easy. Just get some window weatherseal at home depot and you'll be fine.

Exactly where does it go and is it possible to put too much in there?

I did the tape test and it didn't help, so I didn't perform it.

Otherwise, it looks simple enough to do.

I only get the noise at winter time.

If you use 3/4" wide and 3/16" thick weatherseal, you shouldn't have a problem with putting too much in. The following link contains the TSB with the instructions for placement. It made a noticable difference to my car and it doesn't hurt anything to try.
