    I'm getting really bad wind noise around the passnger front door area at upwards of 65mph. What could be causing this and does anyone have any tips for reducing wind noise? Are new door seals the answer?

    Have you checked that the window is tightly closed? It only needs to be very slightly open to create a lot of noise.

    Bad frame alignment, common after a window has been replaced. Check the make of glass in that door to the rest to see if it is different.

    Thought i'd continue this thread than start anew one having read the replies.

    Anyway, noticed a similar wind noise from the passenger side door at motorway speeds. How do you adjust the frame as mentioned in the earlier post? Is it a case of pushing it towards the car or upwards?
    Any help greatly appreciated.
