Dealer fix for road noise

lafd002 · 02-27-2010, 09:28 PM

Edmunds Inside Line article, 2009 Nissan 370Z Long-Term Test (2/25/2010), mentions a "fix" for the 370z in regards to road noise. This is a quote from the article- "Think we're just being whiny? We're not. The tire noise, apparently, comes from less-than-ideal cabin-air extractors, and a fix for the problem is in the pipeline. Future 370Z owners, you're welcome."
Will this "fix" be availible at no cost to existing 370z's or only applied to new production models?

that fix will probably add more weight to the car or they will just use different tires.

Just slap on an exhaust or crank the volume on the stereo

Road noise doesn't bother me

But on a serious note, just what are the "cabin-air extractors", and where are they? Are these vents at the rear/in the hatch area of the car for cabin air to flow out?

in the back to flow air out my guess
