Chuck,

I was giving you credit, just goofed on you username. .060 kydex is about $4 for a 12x12 which is plenty for one of these. I was thinking of a set of simple dies and form them in the oven.

NP Ryan. That sounds like a good solution. One advantage of NOT having too heavy a plastic is that one does not want to risk deforming the rubber weather strip. The thin plastic I used does allow the "deflector" surface to bend a bit back at high speed- but the thing still works well enough that the annoying "thrumming" does not happen. It might even be possible to make the flic surface even smaller. I just stopped fooling with the design when it worked up to 120.

I am amazed that so simple a shift of airflow defeats the pressure variation in the cabin and makes the problem go away, and that Porsche has not addressed it by modifying the plastic triangle at the front of the window. That seems a whole lot better than gluing something on.
