Rep Power: 0 Seatbelt Whistle??
I searched, but came up with nothing, so here goes....
When I keep the windows down (2 door), I get this ridiculous whistle from where wind meets part of the seatbelt. Anyone else have this problem, or know what I can do to stop this utterly nerve grinding whistle? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]
Thx

Rep Power: 0 I hate to say it, but it happens when wind blows over something like that...
I used to actually ( in my S-10) buckle my passenger seat belt up even with nobody over there and that took care of some of the problem.

Rep Power: 0 I think everybody has that problem. And it's probably much louder in coupes too, since we have a much larger open window area than sedans. In sedans, their seatbelts are behind that middle beam, which protects it from the wind.

Rep Power: 0 It is very annoying. I have a coupe and it bothers the hell out of me. From what I can tell there is no easy fix for this, just a result of HONDA's inability once again on this model to understand how physics works. The coupe's whistle is real bad and that car was designed in America at the California based design plant of HONDA. Definetly not the end of the world but can really put a damper on a Sunday cruise on a sunny day.
What's really strange is the attention they paid to detail in painting an aluminum look finish on the seat belt holder (under the actual belt) but not even thinking about how the assembly should actually be placed to avoid problems from wind. Once again, HONDA boggles the mind.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
