Wind Whistle?

I have this annoying damn wind whistle from my driver's side window....anyone else experience this? If so, how did you fix it? It only happens when I go about 50 to 70mph. I start to hear the whistle, it's like right in my ear. If I turn up the radio, I can easily drown it out, but when I am listening to my engine w/spacer and intake, I can hear it. Very annoying. I figured it out by pressing my elbow on the window (pretty hard actually, not too smart) but the noise went away....I really am at a loss on how to fix this. I really don't want to bring this to the dealer because I KNOW they will say that they can't replicate this issue and tell me to live with it....Suggestions?

Don

I get wind noise too, when I am above 80mph. I asked the dealer about it, he said that's normal.

My car did exactly the same above 60. It all began after the dealer fixed a damaged window regulator. I took it again and they changed the upper weatherstrip. Now it whistles above 80. I checked all the weatherstripping and I noticed that the lower one has a 1/4 inch tear at the very end, where it meets with the window. Ill take it again next week to have it replaced.....

I had a similar issue with my passenger side window after I had the dealership replace the rubber sealings on my door. The whistle is most likely caused by turbulence from one of the angled pieces near the mirror and sail panel. I had the sound past 65MPH and took it in to have a tech reposition the sail panel and refit the rubber seal around the door. This fixed the problem and the turbulence is gone. At first, I thought I had a hole from the cabin through the seals, but after closer inspection the noise was generated outside via turbulence.

Good Luck!

That's good. I am not the only one. The window seals fine, and I don't have tints at all. I will just inspect the weatherstrip a bit to see what I come up with. It would really **** me off when I am driving without the radio on....

I have to go in for my first service soon, so I will explain it to them and see what they can come up with.

Thanks for the help.

Don

Fortunately, this too, works for the ear shreaking pterodactyl-like noise eminating from the right passenger seat ----> "SLOW DOWN BEFORE YOU GET ANOTHER....".

What's the common cure? Dealership and see what they do with it?

Actually if it whistles above 80mph, I can deal with that....

But 60mph is just so damn annoying....

Same problem here! And I thought I was the only one until I found this thread.

I brought mine to the dealer and they told me it was normal too. Well if it's normal, why doesn't the passenger side whistle??

I examined the weatherstripping and can't find anything wrong with it (as far as tears or anything)
I also had the window regulator fixed too but I'm not sure if my whistling started at the same time or not. I just recently had the passenger side regulator fixed and still have not heard any whistling from there.

Subscribing in hopes that someone finds a cure!
