Wind noise on drivers side

Is there anyway I can adjust the window to stop wind noise at high speeds. We do have frameless windows but none of the the other sides have this problem. What to do?

the only solution i can think of is check the rubber molding. make sure it's not cracked or whatever. it might be the glass too, just stand outside and make sure the window looks flush.

I had the same problem as you. Is it off and on at high speeds or constant? Mine was off and on, the problem was a slight dent/bend in the door frame caused my door to sometimes not close real good so the window wasn't flush...anyother problems besides the window with your car?

I'll do that. I don't think there is any crack in the rubber molding. I'm thinking its the glass.

What do you mean "I think it might be the window"? You mean the window may be cracked or that the window may not be flush? If cracked just check the window in question carefully and if not flush against the rubber moulding then take it in to the dealer to check it

That's what I do!

I've got this problem on my passenger side. Acts up around 80kmph.

Dealer said I'd have to get the door seal replaced @ $300.

I think my ex bent the frame when she slammed the door once!

wind noise

i have taken my car to the dealer and they have replaced the window glass. now, the sh*t is louder. did not find out until recently when i ran up to 75 to 80 mph on the highway!

sucks!

but i will take in again.

i think it is an alignment problem, the door is not sealing properly, with years of use, it tends to droop.

but the dealer has to fix it! warranty!

there is a technical service bulletin for this. i wonder how we can get one to read it.

these dealers act as if they do not know!

only on the driver's side.

wind noise

should be.

or whatever fixes the wind noise!

not all dealers are created equal, so luck has something to do with it, too.
