Wind Buffeting Resolution (for me anyway..)

[max]

So, this resolution may not agree with all, but for me, it worked like a charm even at 85 MPH..... basically, I lowered the driver's side window all the way down, and lowered the passenger side down about 1 - 1.5 ins from fully closed (your measurements may vary). No wind buffeting!!!!! just good breeze blowing through the cabin. It was in the 80's today and didn't want to run the A/C so I tried a couple things and this worked perfectly!!!! (doesn't matter which window is all the way down nor, which one is about an 1 or so down.......since no one else was in the car at the time, I chose driver side to go all the way down.....

Now, if your significant other is in the car with you, it may require some convincing as to who's window goes all the way down but it works. Once you slow down or come to a light, let the other one all the way down......now if there was a "setting" that could be remembered, that would be BOSS.....

Thought about that until I did this little experiment.......got the Carbon fiber mirror caps and don't want to add a damn thing to it..........not even the $150.00 options.

but thanks for the reminder.

My $10 Amazon fix is now the $20 Amazon fix after the adhesive that came with them failed. Had to pick up a roll of 3M tape and re-do them. Still works like a charm though.

I personally like the YSWY model better than the Hypersonic:

that does look good and fairly un-noticable. In the future, may consider something in CF but for now, I am satisfied with what I am doing.

thanks for the pic....

I think your fix is clever and interesting. Thanks for sharing that! Just waiting for someone to say, "...but what if you want less wind buffeting while it's raining?"

sharing and learning things like this is one of the reasons for joining the forum. Watched very carefully before pulling the plug...now that I have an actual "Supra"........the info has meaning......

Don't know about everyone else but if it is raining, the add-on fixes are not going to be worth a damn and I would just simply let the windows up......problem solved....

Didn't completely work for me. It decreases it for sure, but it's still there.

I went with AMS carbon fiber adhesive bits. No buffeting at any speeds or any window configuration. For me, totally worth $200.

The part itself looks good but...........My vehicle has the CF mirror caps and although this might be a "future' option, the problem for "me" is that the CF pattern on the parts are going in a totally different direction than the one on my mirrors. Unfortunately, you can't re-position the part to match the mirror pattern nor, can you change mirror.....

Don't mean to sound "OCD" but that stuck out right away when I saw the pic.

I did it today on the drive home from work and at 75mph, I could hear the satellite radio pretty good. Honestly, it looks a little "quirky" with the one window 1.5ins from fully closed but I tried it and it worked for me.
