Hi all,

I just got an R3 over the weekend and the noise is really bothering me.
Can anyone confirm that this solution will fix the problem on multiple cars?

thanks.

 

On multiple cars? I'm fairly certain that it will only fix the problem on one car at a time; the one you actually take the piece off of.

 

there shouldnt be any reason to confirm anything. its a piece of rubber take it off, drive the car and see if it works. if not replace it. no need for 8 responses to "is this really it" or "can you confirm before i do it". you're not replacing a fender.

mechanically inclined meter 1/10 (must be able to start car)

difficulty level = unbelievably easy (even a caveman can do it)

 

Thanks

 

wow thx a lot! that noise was gettin on my nerves ... not to mention toyotas ignorance towards the issue ... took it to toyota ... resealed the windshield (4 hrs) ... noise was still there plus the windshield seal wasn't sealed all the way and is sticking out like its not in all the way or not set right ... wow ___ .. im gonna have to go back now nd get my windshield seal fixed .... i did what this topic said in like 5 minutes and it was fixed ... sighhhhh lol

 

I removed the rubber piece with the screws and ocacionally still get the noise.

Wonder if anyone else is experiencing the same thing.

 

My tC Rs3.0 makes same wind noise from front side.
I went dealership 4times..... they never fixed it even they didn't know where this sound is comming from...
I had changed Window Shield for front Side.... No Working..
Finally I had changed whole Front Window..... It still makes wind noise.

I thinks most of all rs 3.0 owner have same problem....
Please all ower report this issue to scion company.

to this email : scion_mail@scion.com

 

The dealership I went to fixed my problem. In my case, they had to reseal the molding for my fron windshield.

 

hi gymby10...
what is the windshield exactly ??

 

Are you joking? Serious question...

 

Ha.. Now I see.. Sorry...
English is second language to me.

windshield = windscreen = front window

 

No need to apologize if English isn't your native tounge. I hear it's a rather tough language to learn, and with all of our exceptions to general rules, I don't doubt it one bit. hell, just reading through the forums you'll see loads of native speakers that have no clue.

 

No problem man, I was like "He's got to be kidding" but I had doubt so I had to question you. Its all good :D

 

LOL... anyway....
My scion tc RS3 is still crying (howling) like a wolf...


I don't know what should I try to do next.
I did everything i can do.... windowshield re-molding, exchanged front window,
removed front rubber...

is there a different idea ??

next time, I am gonna record that wind noise during I drive more than 65mph.
I will post it here...... with MP3 file
You guys must expect it next time.

 

My 07 started doing after I took in to have them clean and lube the sunroof tracks since dirt built up in there....now it whistles when the car body gets hot and I go about 65-70mph....right above the drivers head towards the windshield, it drives me insane and the radio can't even drown it out.

 

same problem! i notice the noise only comes when the temperature is really hot. i tried recording the noise with my cell phone but ____, my ac was on and i just heard windnoises. lol.

im gonna take off that rubber piece in front if i notice this noise again.

 

Ok I just got mine back from the dealership today for this problem. They were going to replace the windshield molding but when they took it for a test drive they said they found that the sunroof motor was out of synch. It was stopping before it was suppose to so it wasn't sealing fully. So they redid the timing on it and they claim it supposedly stopped. Im gonna test if the next few days and make sure and will update if I remember ;)

 

Does it have anything todo with the splashgaurds or front kit? I had aftermarket lights installed and the noise went away.

 

i dunno but youre hot. lol

 

sounds like a wind splitter under the hood might do wonders here
