Default '05 Wind Noise

I have a '05 and I have the wind noise on passenger side since I took delivery and driving home. I hear on it the right side every time the speed is over 50 mph. It feel like it is not well sealed like the driver side (no noise at all).

Is this a common problem ?
Should I take it to have it check ?

Thanks in advance for any inputs.

Easy fix is to put 1/4 inch aquarium airline tubing on the latch hooks to tighten up the pull...50 cent fix. Or you can go back to the dealership and have them replace your latches.

Wow, you must really live out in the boonies if you don't have a Honda dealer.

is it coming from the top seal around the windshield or the passenger side window? if it's the top, the fix is to replace the strikers (part top latches to around windshield) with the hardtop strikers. however, on a brand new vehicle, that would be strange.

i'd guess it's the passenger window. it can be adjusted in the door frame to seal better. it's a hassle - remove door panel, adjust, test, adjust... you get the idea. i'd have the dealer fix it. you did purchase one of their most expensive vehicles new, you deserve special care.
