Bulletin TSB A13-010 wind noise pics
ok. im a tech/advisor at acura. so i accessed the honda site and saw what the bulletin is. its cake. so heres some pics of what the fix is if you have the wind noise at the REAR of the front door about ear level. for the V-6 model, you need a new sash, cant help you there, go to dealer. but for you other guys, its this simple. THIS FIXED ABOUT 90% of my noise!!
step 1.
ROLL WINDOWS DOWN.
step 2, on the outside of the weatherstrip (which honda calls the the run channel) pull the outside first, you'll kinda feel it pop loose, then pull the rear portion out like so
Step 3. heres a closeup of where honda wants you to put "EPT" sealant.
its a fancy form of thin(1/8"), very spongey and soft adhesive backed foam strip/roll. i cut it into very thin pieces and put it into this channel here
then all you do is put the rubber strip back in.
NOTE:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;
1. at first i made the foam a little bit wide, and when i put it back together you could barely see it in the crack between the rubber and the sash (good thing its mine and not a customers. haha) so redid it with a thinner strip.
2. at the top corner of the window, the strip is slightly more difficult to get in. you mainly need to roll the edge of the rubber over the metal part of the inside of the door (sounds confusing. but when you have it apart it should make sense if you look at it)
3. if you want to know what honda uses, just pull the strip out and there is already some ept at the top corner of the rubber from the factory (you can just barely see it in pic 2 up there)
4. honda suggest you use "3m adhesion promoter". easy for me, we have it on the shelf at acura. might not be as easy for you
5.
I am not responsible if you screw something up and honda will not warranty it. preform steps at your own risk!
happy fixing :thmsup:
