Re: Frankentruck

Update after taking a drive tonight: I can hear myself think now!

Before, the windows rattled so much and made the truck so loud on the inside. Now, the windows are quiet, don't rattle, and I don't have to turn up my radio super loud to drown out the prior noise.

I only drove up to about 50 mph tonight, but I did not hear any whistling like I did with the old, cracked and missing seals. Much, much quieter now.

I still need to see how it sounds once I get up to highway speeds, but so far, I'm extremely happy with the new seals
