Wind Noise ES350

[swiftarrow]

My dealer did the wind noise fix on my 08 ES350 yesterday. He acted like he was not aware of the TSIB until I showed it to him. Anyway, it made a definite improvement, especially at higher speeds. Not the "sealed vault" silence I was hoping for, but definitely better. I wonder if the ES300 is any quieter.

Update on the tsb wind noise fix: still a little loud when driving at highway speeds. Pavement type plays a big part so I think the problem is not only leaky window trim but not sufficient sound deadening insulation on the floors and door panels.

If I get ambitious in the future, I will lay down some insulation under the carpet and in the trunk. This will keep things quiet no matter what the road surface is. This site reviews some options:

Since the tsb only upgrades the front window gaskets, I may add some material under the back window gaskets to make a tighter seal.

For now it is good enough.

I had wind noise and I thought it was coming from the windows but they replaced the moonroof seal.

The TSIB provided by JimsGX is a great find !!
For some reason this paticular TSIB is still not listed or updated under many sites.

I am going to schedule the service right away, I wonder if I should remove all the tapes and foams I have intalled by myself before I visit the dealer........

So we finally did the this TSIB and this time I was pleasantly surprised with the result,
however I am still not 100% satisfied and wonder if anyone have done this which is found under the LS460 forum.

If you want a better ride and less road noise,buy a set of Bridgestone Turanza Serenity or Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires.Much better rated tires in every catagory than OEM Michelins or Bridgestone type from Lexus.
