But in all seriousness... I have the same problem... I think unless you redo the lining/insulation or whatever its called... ya probably can't get rid of it....

Which is why I've resorted to... louder music...

I had the TSB performed. I think it worked, since I haven't had any complaints since. I never ride in the back so I wouldn't know...

If you're still under warranty take it to the dealer. They fixed it for me in the rear-left window. The sunroof still makes some wind noise though. I took it in 3 times and they insist that it's normal (it's not) but i gave up fighting them.

the wind noise used to bother me a lot. it bothers my parents more than me now cuz i just got so used to it. for maximas (well for a sedan that costs more than your average accord) our cars should be quieter and have less rattles. for those with systems, how bad is our rattlage?
