An online store for glider aircraft products.

One time I bought something similar and it didn`t work at all for wind noise and that`s just what I would like to reduce on the highway.
They seem to help a bit - though that's subjective.


The tape is already peeling.
OK, I didn't somehow prep the surface of the car - no instructions came with the turbulator tape - but still ... that's quick to come undone.


Do they work ?
Definitely - though it won't show up in the fuel consumption.

During rains squalls, I used to have a big patch of water on the upper half of the side windows, running aft for about 1/3rd the length of the window. So something must have kept the water there.

With the turbulator tape running along the A-pillar , I now have a number of thin parallel streaks of water, almost top to bottom, angling down towards the rear, and extending over half the length of the side window .


So however small, these dimples are doing something, and that in itself is already amazing to me.
