Default Can this be fixed?

I can hear air coming through the seal around my windows. Not a lot, but I don't have this problem with my other car. Is this common with vettes and would replacing the seam (looks like weather stripping) eliminate this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Has the car ever been in a collision? Glass could be not adjusted properly.

Maybe the weatherstipping has just got a little soft. I did this in my truck, take some armor all or equivalent, and soak the stripping, usually takes a couple applications, but it will bring the weatherstipping back to it's original thickness or close to it, sometimes it works, sometimes it don't.
I doubt if it's an alignment problem, most likely just some worn out stripping.

Thanks, all.
My vette has never been in a collision and I'm thinking it might just be that it is a 2004. I will try the armor. Thanks so much for the suggestion.

Rita,

see my post entitled "Wind noise at over 80 mph!" Dave addresses your (and my) question there. I just brought the post back up so you can find it easier. Good luck.

Thanks so much. I was just reading it and bookmarked the page Dave listed. Hey by the way, your exhaust pipes look great! I never really noticed them before seeing the picture you posted in your "changed my sign in" post.

oooooweeeeee!

Take care, stay safe,
Rita
