Default EC wind noise - FIX

Don't know how many have wind noise in their rear windows. I did and it drove me nuts. Did a bit of research and came across these. Little bit pricey, especially if they didn't work. Anyway put them on yesterday and so far they work great. I recommend them.

I had that noise in my 99. Went to a dealership and they put a screw in the latch mount to pull it tighter. now no noise!

Once you open those vents its all over. I had two 9 year old girls back there and they decided to pop them open. Ugh! They are 11 years old now and I have tried the screw trick.
I just ordered a set. Both sides have been killing me.

Uh Huh. Surrre surrre! Riiiiiiiight! I have owned these trucks since extended cabs first rolled out. The only way I would buy your ocean front property in Arizona is if we could prove they have never been opened. Then it's a milestone anomaly.

They've been opened plenty. Also, I've never had the famed "steering knock"

maybe I just got lucky
