air opening

sd88supra · 04-21-2006, 02:31 AM

where can air leak through into the car when driving at high speeds? my 87 NA gets air inside when driving fast and the windows are up all the way. i cant feel air through the top of the window, so i know theres no leaks there. but, i can hear the air flowing in close to the door mirrors and side vents. where should i look for a leak? also, would these seals be available aftermarket?

Its not a seal. Its the thing that the side mirror is bolted onto. On the top of the triangle it usually separates letting air thru. It could also make the window sag a little bit. It's a dealership item.

That is the area that leaks air. You could try a thin piece of weather stripping to try and seal it. I did that on my targa top and no more water leaks, so it might work in the mirror area too.
