Default insulation

so i have a 2000 civic ex and i can always hear air coming in the doors while i'm driving due to poor insulation, it can get extremely annoying, i was just wondering if anyone had any ideas on what would be best to use to reinsulate it and how to do it. thanks in advance.

Hows the weather stripping on the door and window? I have the same car without that issue.

its not the greatest on the passenger side, my window on pass side came off track so we ended up having to cut some of the weather stripping off on that side so i could roll it up, then i just locked it and never mess with it. but the other side should be just fine, i was wondering about cheap ways to insulate it without haveing to get all the weather stripping replaced, i.e. tape or some kinda foam, i dunno lol. anything helps.

Uhh... cheap... cheap... DUCT TAPE man! If looks don't matter, duct tape for the win. If they do, use black duct tape (on the window that's disabled.)

Ask someone in a parts store for weather stripping. It's pretty reasonably priced.

Please, dont put duct tape on it.

Pull the window out and re-install it. Windows falling off the track are quite common. get some spray silicone lubricant to spray in the tracks, too. I have owned an EK for the past 4-5 years, and had to do this everyother week before I actually figured out how to re-install it and prevent it from falling back out.
