This guy uses foam rubber watherstripping to seal gaps around the hood. He claims wind noise is reduced. Has anyone tried this?

Yup. I still get wind noise, but I hear it later, like 85 opposed to maybe 70 before. I think alot of the noise is the sunroof because it seems to be loudest up there.

Lower it for better aerodynamics
