The foam from the top, where it meets the body at the corner of the window is fudged up. You need to get the foam to lay in the proper position. Its amazing what a small change in the way the foam sealer is laying can make a big difference in noise. I can't really tell you any better how to fix it other than....if one side of your car is making more wind noise than the other....take a look at the quiet side....and tuck the foam down on the noisey side to match it.

I had the same problem and it was in the upper rear corner of the window it was just as stated above once you see the the way it lays when it's right you will always notice when it's not. It's not that obvious the first time you do it
