WINDNOISE REPAIR

Windnoise leak repairs are very similar to waterleak
repairs. Refer to Section 9I, Waterleaks. The actual
procedure depends on the type of seal being repaired.

Leaks around the door opening weatherstrips do not
al-ways indicate a faulty weatherstrip. A door or window
adjustment may resolve the condition. Refer to Section
9P, Doors or Section 9L, Glass and Mirrors.
