Wind noise driver-side door

[MongosG8]

Hey guys hoping someone can give me some insight. Every time a car drives by me it sounds like my window is open a crack. Is that how thin these doors are?


I made adjustments to the striker. I did not want to pull it in too much and having the body lines lining up improperly.

Window looks like its closed and against the rubber weather trim fine.

Do you think it can be the seal? ..My G8 is always garaged and I always put some VRT on it at every wash to prevent the weather stripping from drying out.

At my wits end.

Thanks!

I have the same issue with mine I was told that I could be coming from the rear view mirror I opened mine up put some foam inside and still no change check your window make sure it goes up all the way nothing is stopping it good luck its driving me nuts if you find a solution let me know please

I know exactly what you mean when I drive my other car I don't hear any noise but when I drive g8 wind noise is excessive and when the car passes by it sounds like the door is not shut all the way or window is cracked open. There is a bulletin on the side mirror so that's why I figured I would try to seal it better

Thanks man ..I plan on checking that out today

Same issue. I also seem to have some wind noise on the passenger side but it sounds like it is coming from the rear. Maybe I'll have to have to sit in the passenger seat someday as someone else drives to pinpoint it better.

Let us know if you find anything. It really makes it sound cheap when you can hear so much wind noise.

So far I tried several things and nothing.

The glass is fine ..goes all the way up and is against the weather stripping.

The striker was adjusted all the way it can

Mirror.. I cannot figure it out. Took it off put it back on seems fine.

The latch is working fine.

Now I might check the back door drivers side for shits and giggles. At this point I might as well go all around the car.

My wife drove it and even said this would drive me nuts!

I don't let my wife drive the car

Maybe there is someone else who can suggest on this topic

I usually don't ..she only driven it 2-3 times in 5 years. LOL! But I wanted to see if it was just me she noticed right away.

I might just bring her to the dealership to hear them say ..We cannot find a problem ..that's normal.

yea they will say normal operation so your problem just started or you had this for a while ? have you had any body work done to the car ?
