Ventelation
When I drive my 2003 AE Coupe with the windows up I get air noise from the top of the drivers side window. However, if te passenger side window is lowered just a bit, the noise goes away. Are there vents in the rear of the vehcle to alleviate the pressure that is apparently causing ths noise? I thought I read on the CF that they existed?

You don't need to remove the door panel to adjust the tilt in of the window to make it tighter if that's the problem. There is a lock nut on the bottom of the door and an adjusting screw behind the reflector on the door. There is also a blowout clip at the top of the window that may need some adjusting. Try doing some searches for those two adjustments. And yes, there is a vent in the rear of the hatch compartment to relieve pressure when a door is closed with the windows up. I don't recall if there's one on the passenger side, but there is one on the driver's side about a foot forward of the taillights on the side. You can see the little flap if you take a look.

Here's one link with the instructions, but the pictures didn't show for me. There are others.
