wind noise...Bend door in?

Ever since i got my cl its had this little annoying windnoise coming from the passenger window ...

I took it to a Carmax and they moved the striker in so the door could close tighter but this didnt help. They also changed the wheather strips but it didnt do anything...

Someone had told me that these doors get warped over time and could be the cause of my problem but im scared of bending it in and then it snaps!

Has anyone done this? is this recommended?....thanks in advance

I do it about once a year.

The top of the doors (especially on coupes) slowly get bent outward from shutting the door. It happens no matter how gently you shut the doors.

With this is all I need to do is
1. Window down
2. Push in on the top? of the door very lightly I'm guessing

Not much wind noise but enough to be annoying, huh?

just to make sure do you do this with the door open or closed?
