I’ve never had a problem with wind noise on my July 2019 built vehicle. However, I bought and still have one of these installed on my vehicle since November of 2019. Why? Because it does a great job of keeping dirt and other small debris out of all those channels between the roof glass. That was my reason for buying it (from Amazon for around $12-14 if I remember correctly). Personally, I’ve never believed something like this would have any positive effect on wind noise. However, I suppose if the gaps/tolerances between the roof glass sections on your particular vehicle are really that bad/off, then that could create some wind noise which may be heard by certain folks. For these situations, I suppose a rubber tube like this might help with wind noise.
