C5 drivers side wind noise
Anybody with a C5 coupe having trouble with wind noise on the left side window? Mine has wind noise and I don't dare take it thru a touchless car wash. The targa roof weatherstrip has been replaced and the dealer replaced something inside the door (at $525) but the problem persists. Dealer says all the weatherstriping is fine. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks

The upper plug, behind the door pull, is there to secure the inner door panel to the door frame. It doesn’t do anything to adjust the door that I know of.

It’s very simple. There are three plugs on the bottom of the door. Two rectangular and one round one. The rectangle towards the back of the door and the round one is the ones you want. You will need a 3/16 socket with an extension and a flashlight to see the adjustment screws. Put the window all the way down and start adjusting. This will take a few times to get it rite. Roll the window up and close the door SLOWLY dont close it hard. I would hate for you to break your window. I just did mine. It easy as that. Good luck.

Shut it as easy as possible. You just don’t want the window to be so far out of adjustment that it breaks when your when you close the door.
