Default groans and windnoise

So lately I've noticed more and more groans and windnoise on my coupe. The wind noise is coming from the passenger side door where the front of the door frame meets the A piller. The groan is also coming from the passenger side door around where the tweeter area is. Its really not a rattle as it sounds more like two plastic sections rubbing together. I would like to know what kind of adjustments can be made to the door as well as the door window frame? I believe they are adjustable separate from each other. Has anyone been successful tracking down and solving such issues? Other than that the car is tight but the noises drive me crazy. Is there such a thing as a totally quiet (squeek, rattle and groan free) 964 or am I searching to fix something that most 16 year old 911 inhernetly have?

Thanks in advance!

Here's a thread for getting the door panel off:

And here's a thread that helped me locate an annoying sound in my driver's door:

Yes, your car can be basically quiet, depending on the mods you've done.

Try looking under the door for a black gromet that is supposed to be there. It looks like its split but does come supplied like that. If this piece is missing it can cause wind noise. For a tiny amount of money it may fix the issue before you go taking doors off or making adjustments!
Good luck!

Take out the main door speaker and inside you'll see the fixings for the window track etc. There was a bolt and one other fixing loose on mine about 6 months ago producing an untraceable annoying rattle and buzzing noise from the door area. Easy to tighten everything up from there and amazing the difference it made.

Worth a try before you try seam welding the shell or anything like that...........!

Cheers
