Default Wind noise thru Driver window

Anyone experience undue windnoise coming through the driver window? I have had to bring the car back several times to have the window adjusted to get rid of it, but it always comes back. If I press on the seal from the inside, it goes away. I wonder if its the alignment or a bad seal. Anyone have suggestions?

Thanks.

You don't say how old your car is. If it has some age, you're supposed to use silicone grease (Shin Etsu stuff, get from our HandA sponsor) on the rubber every three months to keep it supple.

Could it be from the top. The original top striker plates wear quick. A gap will form that whistles. It drove me nuts. Solution: Replace the softtop stiker plates with hardtop stiker plates under warranty. There is a TSB out about it.

I had a gap, but found a way to close it. I use the switch to make the top go all the way forward, and latch it. then i pull the switch back and it pulls the top down and closes the gap. I guess when I pus hthe switch forward it closes the top too much and makes it go too far forward to close snugly

Mine is two years old last month with no wind noise at all. The car has 19,500 miles on it and It's garaged when I can't drive it.

I'd check into the TSB.

Thanks for the advice, everyone.

What's the TSP?
