Id love to buy that
Given the build quality, he'll need to get measurements to custom make them for each car.
Possible. I like my rubber tubing as it expanded into place during installation and compensates for differences in the gap vs. a rigid material. After some time, car washes and miles of triple digit speeds the tubing is still in place.Very interesting thread. When I get to it I'm going to try 3d printing a strip of TPU (flexible filament) to insert into the gap. Just need to figure out the profile that would best pressure-fit into place. This is what I have so far. Think this would stay in place?View attachment 531963
You are exactly right TLLMRRJ. As I mentioned above the end closer to the front of the car has a wider gap than the back. Unsurprisingly, the passenger side is exactly opposite where the end closer to the front of the car has a narrower gap than the back. So for me, it's not even a matter of making a mirror-image for each side - had to draw up different ones. In order for this to fit snug, they have to be quite precise to each car. 0.1mm makes a difference in fit.Given the build quality, he'll need to get measurements to custom make them for each car.
Tubing sounds like a great solution. Didn't have that handy but did have a printer along with flexible TPU filament. My model was actually straight but due to high flexibilty (i.e, not rigid) it was easy to bend. The strip is 135mm long and it can be folded into a circle and will spring back.The material is the same as those clear soft phone covers.Possible.

Rubber or Neoprene ? What size?Possible. I like my rubber tubing as it expanded into place during installation and compensates for differences in the gap vs. a rigid material. After some time, car washes and miles of triple digit speeds the tubing is still in place.

My tubing is solid.For whatever reason, the rubber tubing actually causes the noise to get worse for me. I'm wondering if the air is flowing through the tube and causing it exit closer to the edge of the window? I may try plugging the tubing with sugru to see if that does anything
I ordered Sugru to do what you did but while I was waiting for it to come in, I used the heat gunt to heat it up and held it down/bent it inward by pinching it toward the outer piece with window down. It is not perfectly straight but it def helped with the wind noise that was coming from it. I will wait and see if it gets worse before I apply sugru.So I ended up narrowing down my issue. Not sure if anyone else’s rubber seal at the front of the driver’s side window looks the same as mine (not flush against the window), but this is where the majority of the harsh/crispy wind noise is coming from. When I push on the rubber seal (to compress it to the window), the noise is significantly reduced. It’s almost completely silent. Now I’m trying to figure out how to permanently fix this. May consider adding a bit of sugru to the vertical edge of it to create a better seal. Or I may just take it to the SC to see if they can replace it. Has anyone else checked this piece?

My tubing is solid.
maybe it's not a jokeYes they do.....
I finally got the chance to test this out on some empty highways this afternoon and whenever I hit about 55+ I hear the wind noise from the front. I put the car in AP and held the black rubber flush to the window and it eliminated wind noise coming from there. Confirmed it with some painters tape to hold it down. Now I have to decide if I should go at it with a hair dryer or take it to the Tesla SC lottery.I went to the SC today and they confirmed it is the rubber outer seal (see post 164) by the black triangle that is the cause of the wind noise. They installed a brand new piece but unfortunately the new piece has the same defect. LOL
This is the hole inside of the seal at the back end of the front doorsPics?
