Default 4DR integra owners... do your windows whistle on the highway?

If so, how the hell do you fix it? I had to deal with it for a 6 hr drive today. Does the window need shimming or something? I need a solution for this problem.

my sunroof does a little bit above 80mph, but open it just a hair and it stops the whistling

My front passanger side whistles sometimes, because some numbskull pryed the door frame open so they could pull the window out to unlock doors (thieves and frameless windows ), so now if the windows up all the way and you shut the door it goes ontop of that seal on the top of the door frame, so I have to roll down about 1/2" then roll it back up. Otherwise, you might just want to check the seals up top.

I've found that if you open the back window a little it creates a vaccuum on the front window when you roll it up and seals it up a little better. I only have to use this trick sometimes on the messed up one that was pryed open.

umm try to recondition the rubbers to it will be a bit softer and it should flex a little more so the rubber will give a little more instead of the window... works for me.. i just slap on some armor all on it.. i love my 98 4dr gsr even more when i stuck my s2k seats in them eheheh

You might try adjusting them, you take the door panles off then you will see two bolts on the top of the door frame you can adjusts the window in or out. It sounds like you need to move them in! trial and error! but look at how they sit in the seals, I messed with mine and they dont make any noise now..you might also look into lube'n the rails up while you have the panels off! but use somthing that has no smell!

good luck!
