Test drive question

Test drove a 2003 z06 today. 30K miles all stock.
At Highway speeds about 70-75 I am getting wind noise from the
drivers window sounds like top rear of window. Is there and adjustment
to tighten up the window is this a common issue. Other than that the
car was really great shape.

There is an adjustment to move the window in or out and forward or back I believe.

Did it have the tab on the moulding trim, which prevents window blowout at very high speeds?

I took my headliner out and between that and my windows it's noisy as hell on the highway. I didn't know you could adjust the windows. I'll have to take a look at it.

Yes the tab was present....
Do u know if the interior door panel needs to be removed to make the
adjustement ?

I've adjusted both windows before and it's not that difficult. My door panels were off when I did it, but I don't think removal is necessary.

This might help. Reference step 4b.

Also search the C5 forum for "window adjustment". Tons of threads on the subject.

Where is the car located? I drove one with the same issue and it turned out to be the weather stripping. It was torn and sticking out the top of the window.
