Default Wind noise problem

I have recently bought a 99 FRC. Lots of noise coming from the trunk area so I bought a cheap partition. Now I get a lot of wind noise from the front of the drivers window. What is the fix for this? By the way I leaned against the car the other day and the driver side weatherstripping came off. I just stuffed it back where it was but seemed to be poor quality for it to come off to begin with, Noise started before anyway, New weatherstripping , window adjustment or what?

You might search the forums for a window "tip in" adjustment procedure.

Require removal of door panel. You don't think its the weatherstripping since its so flimsey? Any other FRCs having this problem?

Glide,

It does not require the removal of the door panel. Just a rubber stop on the bottom of the door and the red reflector inside the door.
