Wind Noise through Driver's Side Window
Dealer says that window has been placed as high as it will go, but I still get wind noise from back of driver's side window at speeds of 60+. Anyone know how to solve this problem?

yes...
its not how high the window is...its how hard its pressed against the rubber seal of the top. I had the same problem, and had it too the dealer 2 times before they finally listened to me and fixed it. I believe there are tensioners in the door...they had to take the panels off and tighten it all down..now its fine...no more noice, rain or shine (mine did it in the rain from the get go - then got progressively worse).

some1 posted a fix for this some time ago, it's something like this....>>>
open the door panels up, and inside, there should be something holding the glass (window), adjustment of the glass hold will either push the glass outward, or pull it inward. wind noise is prolly due to with pushed out too far, just pull it back in, I have the same problem with my driver side, but never got a chance to get to it, please do let me know if you're able to fix it.

Does the door make a metallic-clinking sound when you close it?
Since late summer, I thought I had heard a rattle or something loose when I shut my drivers' door.
I removed the door panel, and felt around with the glass down in the door.
It wasn't 'till I dropped the glass, that I then saw and heard the problem, here.
My window too, was not shutting tight against the seal.

It was this large washer. It holds the glass in place against that part of the riser. The screw was loose, and the white nylon piece was rattling against the glass and the plated washer.
I had to remove it to find the right sized Torx bit.

I could just get my hand back here to screw in the screw by hand, then I put the bit in the socket,m and turned it using a small crescent wrench. No pics, 'cuz my hands were full. but it works - no noise now.
BTW- These highlighted spots here are the white Delrin guides for the window lift. A good lube of silicon spray or a WD-40 look-alike will stop all squealing windows.
