Rear door wind noise
#19
Hey all, quick update: Financeman knew the spot (rear most corner of fixed window). I could even see a gap in the seal from the outside. Car is at dealer now and they have overnighted a new rear fixed window seal for both doors. It seems there is a service bulletin concerning the wind noise issue. THey gave me a loaner G while it is being repaired...let's hope that does the trick.
BIG Thanks to everyone for the input and advice!

financeman, thanks for the tip and photos. I knew of the TSB and even have a generic weatherstrip on hand to perform the fix myself, but i dislike having to disassemble so much just fix something so little.
So, last night, after seeing your idea for fixing it, i went and did it. It wasn't as messy as you made it sound, and took no more than a minute to perform. (Took me longer to find my cutter to cut open the applicator tub ). Definitely a quick and economical alternative to bringing it in for warranty work.
Fast forward to this morning, freeway, voila! No more hissing/whistling noise! Thank you.

Is the TSB applicable to 2010G? Anyone has description of the TSB? Thanks.
financeman - thanks again. On my way home today, I put a tape around the area you mentioned and amazingly, noise was gone for my 40 minute highway driving. Now I am in dilemma whether I should leave the tape on or make an appointment with dealer again.

Update on original post: New seal was ordered and installed for both rear doors...problem solved. Only issue was that dealer lost the key I gave them to the car. So I had to drive back home to get my second key....they reprogrammed me a new set. They realized I wasn't happy about their error.
Again, thanks to all for the help. This is why these forums are so valuable.

I have been having the same wind noise as described in this thread. I went to the dealership a month ago and they were not aware of any TSBs or reported problems. Does anyone have any information or documentation regarding the TSB?
Those that have had repair work done at the dealership, do you have any documentation describing what was done? This will be very helpful for those of us that would like to have this warranty work done.
thanks
