I have heard mixed reviews on those, so I got some 3/8" x 1/4" thick foam from manards. the stuff you use around windows and doors. I made sure it was close foam so it didn't hold water. I pull the rear window completly off and ran it around the balck seal. put the window back in and it was night and day I had alot of wind noise before now it seals up great. just make sure you get the window back in all the way. :chevy:

Ok I just got some pic of the rear window foam. This is really easy guys.

You can just see the foam on the black window seal

and I turned the coners around the whole window

You need to pull off the rear window to do it right. Just unhook the latch and carefully pull the glass open more so the plastic "hinges" come out. don't drop the glass! run the foam around the seal and put the glass back in, make sure it is in all the way. bam no more wind noise. I did mine about six months ago and no bad side effects yet. hope this helps :chevy:

i have found on several trucks, that its not actually the glass to frame part that causes ALL the wind noise... i have those ebay extensions on mine, and they helped. but on my truck, and a former member's (mario), and two others- we found that the frame was actually installed improperly and IT was the cause of the noise. removed them under warranty and replaced them. done, and gone. :)

 

foam idea sounds like a good one, if your one who has properly installed windows :lol:

if you pull the door panel, youll see that the frame is adhered onto the door, and held in place while drying with some little 7mm screws. youd remove these screws, and proceed to remove the frame as if you were taking a windshield off. its really something a glass guy should do

This is what is wrong with my passenger side window. I had to remove the inner door panel to reconnect the speaker and noticed that the frame was not properly aligned in the window. Haven't had a chance to fix the problem though. May try the foam also when I get around to fixing it.

yeah this is probably what is wrong with mine, it is also just the passenger side, would a glass place do this for someone ??
