Side Window Deflector - wind noise Options

[Grosbard]

I am thinking of ways to reduce wind noise while driving on the highway. It's not too bad right now, but I would like to improve it so that I can have a conversation on a long drive having to raise my voice quite so much.

As I see it, reducing wind noise sort of has 2 components:
1. With the windows closed - because the windows don't seal perfectly, there is still significant noise coming into the car
2. With the windows open or partially open - i guess this would be buffeting?

Of course sealing the windows as well as possible will help with #1, but not #2. So I was thinking, is there a solution that helps both? Basically something that deflects the wind so it goes around the car instead of trying to get into the cabin.

Has anybody tried something like this?:

If so, did it help? Can you recommend a brand? I'm well aware it will probably not look great, but I can live with that.

My sound system in my 914 was by no means high end or even medium end but it was nice to have. Good tunes and cars go together.

I have often thought about how to handle longer trips in the teener. I honestly didn’t like anything longer than an hour or two when it was my daily driver in the 80’s. Though maybe not legal, simple foam earplugs is one option. When I used to fly in my dad’s plane, we used them for longer trips. Even more likely to be illegal, nose canceling headphones might be the ticket. I’m not suggesting around town but long stretches of highway.

Back to the OP, you used to be able to buy a pillar wind deflectors for the 70s/80s G body 911. Not sure exactly how they worked with the rain gutter, but it was supposed to quiet down the wind noise. Perhaps you could find a set and modify? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
