Cutting down wind noise, Suggestions? Options

[senick]

I do a lot of highway driving, living 200 miles away from the rest of my family. The old 6gc has been incredibly reliable, but the one thing about the ST is it's NOISY on the highway, and that's on the stock wheels ( can't imagine 17's or above). I plan on adding some insulation inside the doors soon, but I think the majority of the noise comes from the wind passing by the A pillar. Is there anything that can be done to quiet this down a bit?

For convertibles - a solution that worked for me to completely eliminate wind noise where the windows meet together: Purchase aguarium air pump plastic tubing from an aquarium store; Cut tubing to length (top to bottom) of the verticle neoprene seal on the side rear window that meets and is suppose to seal against the front window edge; With a comb or screwdriver, press the aquarium tubing into the crevice lip of the neoprene seal on the rear window edge. This pushes out the lip of the neoprene seal to make better contact with the front window edge. Ever so often you may have to press the tubing in again as it may tend to work outward - especially after putting the top up and down. Good luck and let us know if this tubing solution helped reduce wind noise in convertibles. Thanks....

if you have a leak in your window, you can take off the interior door panel and adjust the nut on the center bottom of the door. by loosening the nut, it will push the bottom of the window outwards, thus moving the top of the window closer inwards.
i had a small gap in mine and when i washed the car, water would always seep inside, but not anymore.

there's also this how-to that might help: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=38668.
