Default Window seals at speed?

I am having a problem with wind noise coming from the passenger side window around 70MPH or faster. Seals are good. Are there adjustments to the window that can be done to help it seal better?

The manual describes the reset process.
Have you tried that to start?

Have same issue. I did the reset procedure, but still have issue. If I lift the window while pressing the up window button, it will seal properly. You can push the top back corner of the window out from the inside to see if it is sealed or not. I just ordered a new regulator for the passenger side to replace it and be done with lifting my window every time!

Will report back on procedure for replacing and result once complete.

I have tried this procedure, but have not yet had a chance to see if it worked. Will try tomorrow and report back.

So I mentioned above the issue I was having where my window would not seal properly on the passenger side at the rear of the window. I moved window half way down and then I could manually slide the rear of the window up and down with my hand about 2 inches. Thought it was a bad regulator.

I took the door panel off this weekend and also removed the metal inner skin to access the regulator. Turns out there is a screw holding the window between 2 rubber pieces that had come loose and was allowing the play in the window. I reset the window about halfway up the holder and tightened down the screw. Put everything back together and it works perfectly now. Very glad I didn't have to replace the regulator.

My issue may be similar. I took the car out a couple days ago and have the same problem with wind noise. Will dig into the door panel and see what there is to see.

Look up how to remove the panel on Youtube. Lots of hidden screws an tricks that make it a very easy job if you know about them.
