The wind noise was quite loud from the front passenger window. At times I would look over expecting the window to be part way down. Took to dealer and when I got the car back (after paying $78 "repair" charge) the wind noise was still there. I complained to the dealer service department and was told that since their first try did not work (surprise!) they could replace the window seal at about $200. I said the work should be done under warranty or (dreamer) "good will." ("Good will? We don't need no stinkin' good will.") I finally decided to give it a go. I forced the seal into place and used black silicone sealant. Taped the seal in place while the sealant dried overnight. Problem fixed! Stopped going to the dealer for service.
