Wind Noise from Driver Door I just bought a 99 Z28. Let me first say that these cars are awesome. I have owned a 80 Z28 for many years but the performance of the 4th gen cars is something totally different.
The car is a hard top and I'm hearing wind noise coming in the drivers side window mostly at speeds over 55mph. I don't see any obvious problem with the seal on the window.
How common is this type of problem on these cars?
How to solve problem? Window/Door Seals? Adjust Window? Or should I just get used to this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Lean your head in to the center of the car. If you can't hear the noise at that point, then its a normal/typical sound.
If you look at the window, you'll see that its slanted inward towards the center of the car. This puts your ear much closer to the glass than in a normal car - so you hear the normal wind noise in a more pronounced way.

anyway, my car has this too and Im interested in a way to fix this also. Idk if this has happened to the op, but when I take it through the carwash, water comes through...
