Re: Door/window seals and air noise…
jasonk931 - I'm with you on this concern. These cars are NOISY on the road. I have a coupe and have put sound deadening sheets on the trunk floor and side panels to no avail. Didn't quiet the interior at all. If you have some success let us know what you did.

Most of those parts are discontinued/NLA or insanely expensive if available and used ones are probably in worse shape than yours. There is a thread where someone put some extra weather-stripping under the existing seal at the top of the window and claimed he bought it from Autozone but never followed up with which one.

One extra bit of caution? Adding anything in the existing seals might result in a leak or tearing of the existing weather-stripping. If you store your car outside normally and you do 'stuff' additional anything in or around the weather-stripping, check for water intrusion when you open the doors, often.

Re: Door/window seals and air noise…
Added a small bit of seal trim under old seal and it helped massively. I still have a bit of wind noise, but I targeted the problem. I taped a shield of sorts along the outer window ridge to create a deflector. Testing it, it produced pure silence in the cab! So, I need to find a deflector/Rain Visor that can fit. Preferably something that isn't outlandishly big and non-asthetic. I checked online and it seems these are not available for window trims of Crossfires. Is there a model of another vehicle that might fit or do I need to look at self fabrication?
