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?

I have hear the wind deflectors are supposed to help. I know that weathertech makes them. You might want to try them.

They make them for the celica windows on the SS-III.
You might try finding a front bumper mounted deflector too.
You should also make sure thee aged rubber weatherstripping is totally sealing between the window and door

These would probably do more than insulating


Very good points. Plus, I believe the previous owner got locked out one or two times since there's a tear in the stripping. Is that vehicle-specific, or can I get universal weatherstripping where the window meets the door?
