Default window problems??

Has anyone else experienced window seal problems? I have noticed more and more wind noise and a rattle in both my passenger and driver doors. I took it in about 3000 miles ago and the dealer said they could find nothing or hear anything. I find this hard to believe. DOes anyone know of any Factory repair notices on this? I have a 2001 NBM Couple with 7500 miles.
Thanks,
KEn

I had wind noise on the driver's side. I checked the gasket material several times and could not find the source of the noise. I was almost ready to give up on the troubleshooting process.

One day I had the roof panel off and notice the interior molding on the rear pillar did not align with the stud opening on the pillar. This is a very large assemble and it was drooping on one side, and the plastic retainers (2 on each side seemed loose).

I took the car in to just have the molding tightened, and found that the whole assemble was WARPED. I got it replaced under warranty and found it solved my wind noise problem in the process. Maybe something to check. :confused:
