i have been trying to seal up the bus to keep air from coming in. More like keep the heat in.
But at this point i think i have gottin the door to seal off good. I still have air blowing in from under the dash. I have taken panels off and and siliconed and stuffed insulation and foams cracks and everything i can to stop them. But for some reason i still hear air blowing in making a terriable wiseling noise. Any ideas where this might be coming from?

Could be the air wipers which are located under the dash! If the valve is bad you will hear air. Try adjusting the wiper switch and see if it stops. The wipers don't have to be moving to hear air!

I believe he is talking about an air leak while travelling down the road from the wind. I have the same problem with my air wiper switch leaking, but I can only hear it while stopped.

Richard I figured that out but to get air coming in he had to have been travelling down the road and he may be mistaking air from the outside to air from the wiper control unit since air would have to built up in order to travel! If it's leaking which most do, and whining like he said it is, it could very well be JUST THAT! :)
