Windscreen Flex

infinite_RPM · Posted: Wed Oct 14, 2009 6:02 pm Post subject: Windscreen Flex

I have an almera with 1 12"...and what is happening is that over time my windscreen flexes more and more...also the glass (both front and back) is now making a loud vibrating sound and its really annoying... is there anyway to reduce the vibration of the glass?

did a install in my car with 1 12 once and it had a lot of flex, the same flex as my last system with the 2 15s, difference is with the 2 15s it was super loud outside, the 1 12 u wasnt hearing anything outside.
SO its how you install in your cabin envionment can lead to that.

Could repositioning the sub be a solution?

how is that gonna help him?

dude, pass by some windscreen specialists and get that checked out. that is if you are SURE it's the windscreen making the noise...

I think it could be a finisher/moulding thats causing it. If the windscreen was making a noise most likely it would be leaking.

if its off and you still hearing the noise then the windscreen needs resealing.
do they leak water?

yeah im afraid that it will leak water cause i have to park this car whole day in school... i cant be worrying if rain go wet up inside my car

...if i push against the windscreen the noise stops so most likely it needs resealing

i ran my hand right around the windscreen with all the doors closed to see if i felt air leaking while playing music...but i didn't...when i go to wash the car later i will see if there is a leak 4 sure...

anybody y'all could refer me to, to reseal? im located in south....

thanks

put some dynamat strips on the hood immediately above the windscreen,
i had the same problem in my rear winscreen, and the dynamat stopp ed the noise, do this before u check the windscreen ppl.

these new cars have soft bodies I find. look at what small power casued in my car, imagine some serious power.
but under all seriousness, I would like to stop this damn windscreen rattle too. if the midrange not loud enough I does hear that noise while im in the car too.

2 layers of sound damping on the hood will help a lot

strips wont cut it the entire hood needs to be dampened

SR · Posted: Fri Oct 16, 2009 3:27 pm Post subject:
