Air leak, window seal

+1 on the substantial wind noise on the passenger side though I'm not getting the whistling sound.
Watching for a fix but I think it's that stripping. I noticed that panel is a bit less secure than the driver side one. I don't think it's a frameless problem otherwise they would both do it.

Me too- noticed it just recently (I've had the 6M/T since February), and only above 70MPH. Figured I'd mention it when it goes in for the next oil change. And yes, my windows are all the way up. Interestingly, it may have started after I had the window rollers replaced (to stop that ugly grease streak problem).

I just bought my G and I have this same wind noise as described here. I'm almost positive I found the cause too. I had a passenger locate the noise while in my car and it is coming from the front of the pass. side door. So I inspected the door a few days later and noticed that near the pass. side mirror, there was a gap in between the plastic at the bottom of the windshield. I could freely move the plastic with my finger so I know the half an inch gap had to be the cause.
Hopefully that makes sense...kinda hard to describe. I'm just going to fix it myself as soon as I figure out a permanent solution.

I think it was stated in another thread that the proper fix for this is the DIY window track adjustment, the door panel does have to be removed. It seems it is attributed to the track getting loose and while driving the window shifts out just enough to let some air in.
* EDIT: according to TannerG below this made his air leak worse so I guess it depends on what type of leak you have and where it's located. So YMMV.![Wink](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)

^^ That fixes the window rattle when you shut the door. I'd tried those steps before to try to fix my air leak and it only made it worse. My problem is the top corner of the window is not touching the "gasket" so the window doesn't seal completely. When I did the steps in the thread you linked, the gap between the window and gasket was even larger. I seem to need to find a happy medium between the air leak and window rattle then try to shim it like lsbs mentioned.
