Re: Wind noise TSB

I have bad news for anyone thinking that wind noise problem has been solved with newer models of Ridgeline. I had a significant problem with my first Ridgeline, a 2006 RTS, and had the windshield TSB applied all the way through to a full glass replacement. This partially solved my noise problem by removing the howling blowing over the bottle sound and replaced it with a less obnoxious, but quite evident, wind hitting an uneven surface whooshing noise. Well, one of the things I was looking forward to in getting my new 2008 RTS was an improvement in the noise level the windshield makes and I did a very thorough inspection of the trim install on the new truck, and even though it was cleaner and tighter to the metal frame, it still was not perfect. There were evident gaps and tolerances were not as perfect as it needs to be to eliminate noise problems. I looked at a half dozen Ridgelines at the dealer and all the 2008s had this poor attention to tolerances of the windshield molding, so I just took the truck knowing that it was not going to give me "peace" of mind, and sure enough the wind noise is still quitre evident in the 2008 edition.
