how well does the seal work? i currently have slider windows but at high speeds they blow out and let in wind noise. need a pair that wont let air in

They work great. Less noise and nice to be able to see out the windows. The plastic we had before got cloudy. These windows are great!

I haven't had that problem. I have been up to 70 mph on the freeway and no trouble. The noise from a soft top at that speed would cover up any noise, but the seal seems good anyway.

I Love the ones I have , but you might get the SAME noise . I don't notice the noise much, I have a 1998 jeep wrangler.Hope this helps?

Whether from being well constructed, or just new, these sliders seem to latch fairly securely, and seal reasonably well. Although the Wrangler is not without its customary cabin noise anyways, I don't find that the sliders let in much extra air or noise when I'm travelling at highway speeds. My old sliders blew out easily too, as you described, perhaps it was a blessing in disguise that they were stolen.

i just purchased the sidewinder. it worked really well. one question.... little tiny air bubbles appear all around the seams of this thing. is that normal or is it leaking air? i would appreciate some opinions. thanks

I am not technical in any way. My personal experience with these blades is while defrosting the wipers have uneven pressure. There are several adapters included of which I didn't throw away or tried yet. These are single edged wipers that do need the wind for pressure against the window

They stick very well if you clean the mounting surface very good with alcohol. They actually cut down wind noise.

I have been using them since August 2014 in my Lincoln MKS rear windows. At first one window squealed a little and I removed them, but replaced the next day. I have had no issues with noise or otherwise. If you lower the window ( not all the way) they do rise up a bit and I have to push them back down, but no big deal. I love them and they have protected the door. I added a few extensions to allow for complete door coverage since I was using with a 9 week old pup at the time in my new car. I would recommend.

I haven't ridden with them. If you pad the eye cups it could work. My main concern would be the venting. It may allow too much airflow to be a good solution at speed.

You're welcome and absolutely reduces the noise of wind rolling over the crossbars. I never heard the wind until I put the crossbars on my SUV, once I installed the fairing I couldn't hear the wind anymore.

The best thing to do is to call Truxedo and ask them. They are very helpful and the differences between some of the systems is very slight - it might be a simple fitting in the front or back. We really like the Truxedo cover. It has worked beautifully at highway speeds and high winds.

I bought them to reduce wind when the windows are open, which it does. when the windows are closed there's no effect on noise. if the windows are open and it is raining, it reduces the amount of rain that comes in. not as much as i would like, but not bad.

Yup. They don't touch the windows, so you can open windows with them in. This was the whole reason i got mine.The only issue is the speed you're going. I wouldn't open the window if you were going over 100 km/hr, because they can fall out of the holders (and potentially go out the window). I think the instructions said to not open the windows going over 130, but I found I started to have issues at 100

It'll be up to you to make sure that you fit it snugly to your window opening - some weather-sealing foam tape is provided but to get a really good seal you'd probably want to pick up an extra roll. The unit itself seems like it's got some airflow to the outside, but not as much as other units I've used - if you're really concerned you can also pick up a cover for the inside or outside of the unit that can be fitted when you're not using it.

I put the foamy windscreen from my Takstar SGC 598 on then this windscreen. It's longer than it needs to be so I rolled the end inside itself which also helps hold it in place. It's made of thick material so quite a bit of sound is blocked along with the wind but it does work. I am boosting my audio with a Topping NX1 headphone amplifier. Pretty sweet audio.

I have to disagree with the other posters here. Maybe my Airscape is defective, but there is not a perfect seal even when you push the handle down ('closing' the air valve). Because of this, any extra pressure that builds up due to outgassing will bleed off to the same pressure as the surrounding air.

Several years ago I had a similar set of mirrors and they vibrated on this same vehicle. This set fits great and does not vibrate, therefore I do not believe you will get any wind noise. It hasn't been warm enough to have the windows down here yet this year. Can't hear anything with the windows up. With the ratchet system they fit extremely tight and I can't imagine them providing wind noise.

finally head from our designer. Please see response to your question. thanks, Lee CarCoverkingdom Hi Lee, Here's an update: We contacted a vendor who manufacturers an RV with a rubber top and he advised that a Polypropylene cover will not react with the rubber top seal. Only issue is that some covers insulate so well, they can increase the temperature of the roof and cause laminate damage. Our covers do allow for ventilation so I think it would be a personal decision on the buyer's part. Let me know if you have any questions or need anything further? MJ

I didn't have that problem. Fit and works like a dream. Hope it works out for you. Perhaps your window lip too wide?

I have never found an AC that seals perfectly and the AROS is no exception. The Aros had fewer gaps on the sides but happens to fit more snuggly to the window. This is nice because it's hard to apply weatherstripping tape under the unit. Generally weatherstripping tape is a good addition to ac installation for bug control and insulation.
