Wind noise in the coupes ?

Took my FE Coupe out for its first drive the other day. Noticed quite a bit of wind noise from the door windows. Anyone else ?

I still love this car...

Congrats on the new ride Jeff. I love those FE's.

Thanks Ian

I'm still looking for a perfect 96 GTS to sit next to it.

Hope all is well...

Fold the mirrors in , then drive it at high speed. I think most of that is mirror noise. They will turn in with a firm twist. Let us know.

Viper is right.. Turn in the mirrors, or get used to it.

Mine is VERY QUIET with regards to wind noise. It is sealed up so good that it is hard to close the trunk with the windows up or the doors closed.

Tom,
I have the same problem with closing the trunk.

I'll try the mirror thing when the roads clear.

I remember when I was young and stupid , I drove Vetts and they had the same problem. Ecklers sells this , I was thinking they might work on a Viper also. They may be too short , I think the Viper mirror is farther away from the side window than the vette , but for $20.00 it could be worth a try.

The wind noise is bad in the coupes, we went over this in an earlier thread. My Z06 has the same problem also
