minimize wind noise in cabin
i love driving my maxima but its gotten me in some trouble. my license is suspended so i find myself shotgun and sometimes even in the back. ive noticed something that i hadnt noticed before sitting in the front. the wind noise in the back is horrible when going interstate speeds.
**** as i am about my car and frustrated as hell, i started pushing on some of the rubber back there thats between the door and the car. apparently its elasticity you could say has worn down. it is after all a 2k.
do any have suggestions on fixing this cabin noise problem?

TSB=Technical Service Bulletin
Nissan issues them whenever there is a problem with one of their cars. I think the way the system is supposed to work is that they send the TSB to the dealers so when somebody comes in complaining about something like wind noise they will know what to do about it.
Problem is most dealers suck. I took a copy of a TSB to my dealer and they looked at it like it was quantam physics or something and said they had no idea what that was or where it came from.
There is probably a link somewhere on the .org where you can print out a copy of the TSB that applies to your problem. Do a search.
Good Luck!
P.S. I also have a 2000 SE with 55K miles on it and I haven't noticed any wind noises.

I took my '02 to the dealer last month to get the wind noise fixed. They said they test drove other models and they all had the noise. What dopes. The fix in the TSB is what I was thinking would fix the problem now I'll do it. Thanks.
