Driver's side wind noise
First, happy to report as fiberglass cars go, I have a pretty silent one. However, at 60 and above, I start getting an annoying wind noise on the driver side. My wife says the passenger side is silent. Could it be this weatherstripping that's completely flat on the passenger side but looks like this on the driver side? Thanks

I'm pretty sure I noticed the same issue on my car. I'm a bit relieved to find out that I'm not the only one experiencing it. On my car, the noise emanates from the weatherstripping at a point a few inches above the top of the door panel. If I pull up on the weatherstripping, then it gets worse. Like you, I only notice it a freeway speeds and don't hear it on the passenger side. I stuffed some Home Depot weather stripping under the factory weather stripping and it ameliorated, but didn't eliminate, it. I took my car to the dealer and was told that the tech--I didn't ride along--couldn't hear it. The service advisor advised against replacing the weather stripping because he said that sometimes makes problems worse because, in his experience, the weather stripping installed at the factory is more consistent than the one sent to dealers for service work.
If you find out the exact cause or a solution, then please let me know.

Thanks for sharing. Im thinking I agree with the dealer. Might be a touch annoying, but a leaking, creaking roof after the techs replace the weatherstripping will be far more annoying.
