Wind Noise

After reading threads on wind noise going back to the introduction of the G35 in 2002, I am surprise that it is still a prevalent problem on 2005 models. In my case it is coming from the right rear quarter window (triangle piece). It starts to be noticeable from 80Km (50 mph) and quite noticeable at highway speeds.
Upon inspection on the offending quarter window I noticed that when I push on the glass, there is a bit of play when compared to the right side. Not sure whether it is a molding problem.
Forum members that have this problem, what was the fix that the dealer performed to correct the wind noise?
The reason I am asking is because I am going to get the G tinted and I was wondering if I should get the dealer to fix the problem first before getting the G tinted. Otherwise, I will probably get a snarky remark from the dealer that the wind noise is due to the tinting !!

Take it to dealer and have them fix it. I had same problem on my 05 G35X.
They end replacing this: WEATHERSTRIP - REAR-82273-AL501.

Definitely recommend having the dealer try to fix before the tint goes on. Hopefully they show you more love than I got, which was the "nope, we didn't hear anything" routine.

Definitely sounds like something is loose. Get the dealer to fix it first b4 tinting.
Any water leadage?

Had the same problem. Dealer fixed. Do this before you tint as they messed up my and had to take it back to the tint shop to get it fixed (dealer paid for this of course).
