Guide: R1S / R1T Wind Noise FIX!

It’s in the photos on my original post. It’s the outermost 1/4” or so weatherstrip—looks quite stock. Pretty much the same procedure as the OP. I just put the red markings of the extra adhesive strip locations.

I’m glad I found this thread and I haven’t had a chance to read through all of it however my wind noise scenario is that I can lower and raise the window and it often reduces the volume probably 50%. It’s not like the window is slipping or anything it’s more like the seal is better when you lower and tighten. So my quick question is do you know which area of the ones you mentioned is the most likely culprit so I can start there?

In ordered the trimlok cord they only had one so I’ll start with the drivers door

i would try placing the rubber seals inside the window frame from my guide based on what you're saying. If the seal is better when you lower and re-tighten, it also may be beneficial to try to reset the window roll-up set points. I believe you have to hold the window up button for 5 seconds or something (please search the forum for more detailed instructions). You could also place a ticket with rivian and see if they can send a mobile tech to look at the window settings.

I put the cord seal thing inside/ outside, it got rid of the window intrusion air for sure, now it's just even more obvoius how loud the wind noise is around the top of the windshield, if I hop in any other vehicle, you don't hear any wind noise, the Rivian is LOUD....I have a feeling its due to how far forward the plastic a pillars stick out then the negative space around the glass roof

I also squeezed some 6mm round cord weatherstrip here at the junction of the top A pillar and chrome trim. It reduced the cross wind buffeting.

Is this for consistent wind noise? Mine (2025 R1S) makes noise from 35-45 only. It is a whistling sound and seems to come from the center of windshield.

is it hard to install?

Most of the fixes are easy, but can be time-consuming to do them all. I think I've done them all, that I can (some need to be done by Rivian) and have seen a significant improvement. I've probably spent 15-20 hours between research, ordering and installation. Still not as quiet as my Tesla, but far better than it came from the factory.

I may have to message you when I start them. ;-). I can't count how many times I have mentioned the noise to service and it never seems to get fixed. I purchased most of the items needed, but now just need to install them.
