Tackling the wind noise, yeah 17 years later! The more I work on infiltration from floor and doors the louder the wind noise gets! Okay, it just seems like it.

I've seen a couple approaches online - sellers saying to use window deflectors, a YouTube DIYer adding extra weather stripping for doors (Mazda 3), and even testing with painters tape to find the culprits. I've read roof racks are regular problem for noise, and mine are no different but I only noticed very little increase in noise adding them and no benefit to adding their deflector.

What are the worst offenders - hood, wing mirrors, door gaps? What've anyone else done, or found helps with this?
