High speeds
does anybody else have this problem. no matter what speed im at I can hear wind coming in my passenger window seal. It gets louder the faster i go. and when i get up to around 160mph the wind like comes under the window and the window like gets off track. and i have to roll my window down and back up to get it back on track. is it the window seal or what? I cant get over 140mph now with out it trying to come out.

While I in no way condone these speeds unless you are on a track, when windows should be down anyway, it sounds like the window clip needs to be adjusted. At speed the window pulls outward due to vacuum around the car.
If you have a dealer do it, tell 'em it happens at 70mph.

Same issue here. I have read before on the forum there is a way to adjust how far the window goes up when it closes. Someone will surely chime in and tell you how to adjust the window. Although mine has never been pulled off track even at those speeds. Good luck and keep me informed on how it works out because I will have to be doing the same process when I get a free moment!! Thanks, Dan

From: Biloxi MS Theres something happenin' here, What it is ain't exactly clear.....
Dealer service history on mine showed the prev. owner took it in a few times for this.. and it still leaks at interstate speeds.
I found that if I put the AC on recirculate, it goes away.

I love driving fast. i usually keep my windows up b/c i love hearing that engine roar with out all the wind. but if it keeps my windows from falling out at high speeds i guess it is worth it. but right now im not worried about it i had a flat tire. and i gotta wait to get my new ones. so i plugged it and wont so over 70mph...lol...
