Wind noise on front doors at head level

[PowerBoostSoCal]

Does anyone have a wind noise - appears to be where the front door (both sides) meets the door jam at about head level. Sometimes it is just a slight wind noise, other times when a window is open it is a floppy rattle sounding noise - especially bad at 55+. Really pronounced when the sun roof is open.

I thought it might be related to having the AC on recirculate mode vs fresh outside air - but it will make noise in either mode.

Yes, it's the rubber around the door/window right around your head. Mine only happens at certain speeds and only with at least one window open. When you hear it run your hand up the rubber molding and you'll feel where it flutters. You can put a small piece of carpet tape in there with just a small bit of foam to keep it from moving around and making that flppppp noise.

Can you elaborate more on this?

I was past a year (dealership) so I had to look up videos how to adjust the doors to get rid of the wind noise.

Ok, problem solved. Was able to video the sound and area where noise emanated ... Dealer replicated the problem, found TSB 22-2349. $12 part created for TSB will hold down an errant cable near the sunroof that flaps around when roof is open and when certain combination of windows being open at certain times ...

You have any pictures by chance? I get this if the right cross wind and speed it sounds like paper flapping. I've narrowed it down to the area I believe you are describing.

Yes, that's it. I don't have any pictures as I removed my farmer fix. I used my fingers to attempt to reseat the rubber where the drivers glass contacts the door by the b pillar and that seems to have fixed it. Although I almost never drive with my windows down at speeds so ?
