Foam bag installation fender and a pillar

Ok update!
First I think I figured out a large portion of my wind and road noise. I would NOT recommend putting the foam bags in. They are pain in the butt to get in there, and then when you do I dont think they will come out easily.

This is what I did:

1) I had some old sound dampening foam lying around the home. I cut it into pieces and stuffed it into the A-pillar on both sides. Even tho my Apillar already had some foam all the way up there I could see with a flash light I think this still cut down on some vibration and noise. This is the link:

2) I also bought this strip and put it against my windshield. It only took a few seconds and I think it really helped. Its so simple to install. I noticed that my 2016 X had a piece of foam I could visibly see in between dash and the wind shield, but my loaner 2018-2019 model did not, the windshield directly contacted the dash, there was no gap. I think this has made a difference

let me know what u guys think! I decided not to trade in at this time because I do not want to loose lifetime supercharging and I have a 2y/o she will just make the new one dirty in a matter of days too. Might as well wait until shes older. :)

lol hey thanks for the idea, i happen to have some of these sound dampening foams from my office, will try that. I ordered the strip to try too; did you have to cut the strip at all?
 
I also used some weather strip glue to reinforce this area I saw on another video this is a source of Sound into cabin
