Default Whistling Window

My drivers side window starts whistling at like 80mph ... I dont even know how to start troubleshooting this one.

I hate to just flat out replace the stripping and hope for the best.

Any ideas?

If you can get the factory manuals you can troubleshoot how to adjust the window angles and inward pressure to stop the wind noise. There are many adjustments you can make to fix the problem. It is exactly what the dealer will do, but if you are patient and handy, you can do this yourself. Good luck, I hate wind noise too.
