I just realized that the clacking sound my window makes is from the glass knocking against the Wind/Rain Guard insert... so if I lower the window to just below the bottom of this slip in insert, then it doesn't clack... of course, closing the the window all the way also takes the clack out... Someone mentioned using a urethan spray or whathaveyou to build up the rubber around the triangular glass to keep the hiss out... Anyone know what product this would be exactly... thanks...
