6mmDo you remember the size of tubing used? TIA
Do you have a link to this material?
What did you use to attach the tubing?
Thanks! Ordered.Neoprene Black Rubber Tubing, 6mm Cord, Cut to Order, by the Foot 849087083489 | eBay
I just cut it to fit, and shoved it in there. Probably helps.
Would something like this work? https://www.amazon.com/Open-Cell-Conditioner-Insulating-Resilience-Soundproofing/dp/B07MM1X1JTI slightly modified my fix to further improve the noise elimination. When you open your door and peek between the door and the fender, you can see the insert as well as the lower part of the A-pillar opening. I noticed that a small gap still remained. I inserted a piece of sponge into that hole to fully close the a-pillar. No more noise, regardless of the wind direction.
Apparently, wind can cause the noise when it enters from the side, between the fender and the door.
I also received the rubber band from abstract ocean to put around the glass roof. It was easy to mount. My roof is not perfectly aligned with the car, resulting in uneven gaps. I had to pull on the tube to make it thinner, in order to put it in on all sides. As a result, then tension was insufficient on other sides to keep the tube in place when going....a bit faster. I did not lose it, because on one sight it was snuck.
It requires some tweaking and testing the get sufficient tension. Hopefully it will stay in place now.
When testing on the highway, it appeared to be a bit quieter. I wasn't sure about the wind reduction until my mind came up with the thought: i can hear the road noise so clearly. So yes, i think it makes a difference in terms of wind noise reduction.
All in all i am most happy with the a-pillar solution as it removes that annoying crispy-vortex-resonance sound.
Thanks to the stereo you can outpower the remaining 'normal' wind sounds

I bought it and I tried doing this on my 2020 P3D-. I just can’t shove it in... that can mean that the gaps are smaller now, which I guess is a good thing for build quality? Guess I will use the trusty sponges.
