Re: Wing vents whistling!! Help!

I have known a couple of people with new ruber who gave up and sealed the wing windows shut with RTV. It isn't a good solution if you like having wing windows like I do, but it shows you how difficult it can be to get them to seal.

The previous owner of mine added thin pieces of stick on weatherstripping between the glass and the seal. It sealed surprisingly well considering the poor condition of the rubber.

I recall reading something a couple of years ago that said the very late suburbans (like '90 or '91) had a different, larger rubber seal that worked better. The poster said they had purchased a set from their dealer and noticed an improvement. I have never seen or heard anything like it since then, so I have no idea if it is correct information.
