Excessive Wind Noise

While Driving on the freeway...anywhere from 70-85 mph, my 93 LC has a LOT of wind noise. Is there any cure for that? My windows close and open properly, there's no leaks as far as water is concerned, but the wind noise level is absurd...and suggestions?

Do you have a roof rack?

What are you comparing the noise to?


Mine (1994) has a full length rack and is noisy. But was noisy before too. Not really noisy, but enough. You have to remember that the 80 has the aero-dynamic qualities of a brick.

If you have the time and the financial means to... you could always put in some sound deadening like Bob did:

Speaking of which, I just got the first shipment of the 180 sq. ft. from Second Skin. I think it's 100 sq. ft. haven't checked yet. I will be starting this weekend on it.
