Mine always sound like they are leaking on the freeway, but i have been in other Camaros and its the same. BUT my windows are sealed well and dont leak when it rains, so i guess thats as good as it is going to get

wow im glad I am not alone on this. When im on the highway I hear the wind like the window is open a tiny bit or something like that. but I don't feel the air coming in or anything at all its weird. And when it rains nothing leaks, so don't understand it.
I know its not all Camaros, because in my old 2000 Z28 at like 85 it was still dead quiet in the car.

Exactly! I looked like an idiot im driving trying to figure out where the hell its coming from with my hand reaching behind me seeing if its from the top of the hatch/triangle piece/window trim etc

its the damn rubber piece it gets mashed down with us leacing our doors shut all the time and then it isnt strong enough to keep the wind from making it between the window and rubber

anyone else have a fix for it besides new moldings? i was thinking maybe leave the doors open over night might do it for a while? not sure

MY Dad's 98 SS does the same thing. My car doesn't do that yet. It is quite annoying. Mine however, does leak in when I wash it.

Mine gets really loud once i hit about 75+. i haven't looked close enough to see if there is a way to adjust the window so it seals tighter against the moulding or not.
And my windows don't leak when it rains, but

(purists can stop reading here)

when i take it through a car wash, use a power sprayer, or even a nozzle on a hose that's a little powerful it starts to leak around my window seals - and it drives me nuts. but i just have to deal with it.

when i took my car in for paint... i pulled everything on the doors off.... weatherstrip molding the triangular ruber pieces.. and when i got it back it was late at night so i threw on what i needed to to get it weather resistant... and didnt put the stupid small rubber pieces on the front and back of the doors at the end of the window molding... i was driving it that night n i literally could like right right towards the front of the door and see te inside of the fender... i think its just a cheap design on the molding and weatherstripping around are doors... seems to be a comon problem
