Dave and fellow listers,


I encountered this incredibly annoying problem immediately
after replacing the rubber seal between the cargo carrier
and the Vanagon roof with an after-market seal from Bus
Depot.  I determined that the hollow rubber bead was
"strumming" against the roof of the bus at high speeds.  I
carefully removed only the hollow rubber bead from the seal
section over the windshield using an X-acto knife, which
solved the problem.

Subject: wind noise


Hi,
Anyone have any advice on how to quiet the rattling noise
caused when
the wind hits the cargo area above the driver? It seems to
kick in
above 65mph, very loud and vibrating...
Thanks,
Rick
