Windshield Seal Tape

[pv488]

I installed these about a month ago, honestly I cannot recall if there is any major difference from using it

With this ONE simple trick that Toyota did not want me to KNOW... I increased my MPG to over 30mpg, reduced noise, and I am now better looking!

In all seriousness.. it does seem to take the edge off the wind noise at speeds over ~60mph. Now, if we could figure out a cure for the mirror generated wind noise for $24!

Did you notice any concernable difference in road noise?

Just took a drive and there is a noticeable difference, but not a total game changer. I would buy again.

There was a post on this forum suggesting Toyota designed mirrors to be folded at highway speeds lol.

They are all made in China, regardless the sales channel.

It’s your money. Do whatever you feel comfortable to do. But this is a car forum, not political hate group.

and just a reminder, your beloved Land Cruiser is designed and manufactured in Japan.

Not sure the connection here? China and Japan are very much NOT the same. And they are very much NOT friends/allies.

Japan is a long time US ally, and makes WONDERFUL vehicles and various other products as well. I for one am happy to buy Japanese products, and generally look to AVOID buying Chinese wherever it is possible.

In fact we own 3 vehicles, and every single one is Japanese made (two Toyotas, one Lexus). The two previous vehicles I owned before these 3 were also Japanese made (1 Toyota, 1 Lexus).

I've folded mine, it makes a difference, but it is still loud'ish. The flat front windshield isn't helping things either. I just can't drive around, even on the Interstate without having side mirrors.

I'm sure some smart guy could computer model the vehicle and 3-D print all sorts of fins and nubs, include a diagram on where to stick them, down to the millimeter. . Would look ridiculous though.

I've considered trying these on the inner surface of the side mirror body, but they're always out of stock. The wind noise hasn't bothered me much since most of my driving is lower speed, but I thought it might be fun to see if I could reduce it.

installed this on the GX, couldn't tell a difference with the seal tape vs no seal tape. I did not measure anything though (db). Couldn't really hurt for $25.

Would that be illegal?
