HOW TO ELIMINATE wind roar in an 2008 E250 ?


outside climbing into the Rockies.


Is the noise from the windshield's outside edge before the door


or is the adjustable mirror shell responsible ?


the wheel well at my feet ?


The market sells leading door edge n drip edge colored plastic overhangs running across top door then down from top door to hood/fender/door area...is this mod a noise reducer or a rain gutter ?


Ima gonna try disconnecting the mirror shell with a solder in plug to see if this helps...replace with a tv camera n screen.


DEAF !

 

I chased wind roar on my 88 E150. I put wide masking tape over different places until I heard a difference. The weather strip at the top edge of the driver's door had come unglued and twisted. I got some 3M weatherstrip adhesive and used more tape to hold the weatherstrip untwisted in place until the adhesive set up.

I put a camera on the passenger's side but left the mirror in place. The camera was always a better view and I mounted the screen where I did not have to look away from where I was headed. The Honda I drove last week would put a camera view up any time that the right turn flasher was on, very handy for passing on the interstate. jim

 

Noise is mainly from the wheel wells...Toyo A/T the problem.


The pod on stalk mirror is SUPER noisy, 2X the tires but window glass seems to eliminate that turbulence to below wheel well levels.


Ran a new wire from the batt powering a new radio n cleaning the assembly ( per year ) placed a foil into the dog house. Foil from Home Depot, a air space quilted foil meant for furnace applications.


Pressed the molded DH insulation onto new foil n mounted DH


Next time its red Weldwood fersure. #!@aa000T


Try this ? recommend cutting pressed in foil 2" back from house lip.


Obviously a mite cooler but much quieter from that area. Was or is your mold vibrating ? BBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZ...


sounds like yes it is BBBBBBBZZZZZZZZZ.





forum needs an icon with earplugs


Dynamat bought 9 years ago n stored smells neutral now. I assume heating it will release toxic gases. Placed a strip into the ID DH after rubbing DH with CHOH ....see if it falls off.


Mount window glass in the wheel well ?

 

the soft plugs in a bag at Walmart.


I tried plugs for bicycle noises. Plug ears, place water pipe on bike frame, other end on forehead n rotate pedal cranks.


also useful for motor noises but watch out for the coils.


With the van with wind from mirrors n Toyo A/T, I plugged at a high elevation then removed plugs at a lower elevation at a stop light. WHOA !


Plugging at lower elevations may not have the same effect but an interesting experiment in where noise is coming from
