Default Wind Noise- Drivers side

Just got my car back from the dealer to replace the rear roof/halo weatherstrip.

Now I have wind noise comming from the top of the driver side window at the far back corner.

The window seems to be indexing correctly

I took off the top and the weatherstrip looks fine

What am I missing?

There was no noise before the weatherstrip replacment...(Escept Exhaust and radio)

There is a small section where the weather strip is in two pieces I believe. Should be right about the area where the window starts to taper down towards the window. Put your finger there and push the weather strip towards the window and see if it stops.

I have a slight leak there on my car.

upon further inspection it looks like the installed weatherstrip might be defective or installed wrong.

The passenger side lays very flat and smooth

Driver side - there is a indention right where the top meets the halo and window. I tried to make it lay flat but it wants to keep its shape

I guess these cars are so aerodynamic that a little disruption in airflow will cause wind.

Back to the dealer again next week.
