Default Wind noise

I have this wind noise coming from the passender side some where by the sail panel and rear hatch to the very back. I have replaced the passeenger door and the seal on the rear hatch itself both fit fine and snug but this noise is really annoying almost like when the window doesnt go all the way up and it makes a fluctuating sound. Ive gotten out and examined the panels on the outside, where the window meets the seal and the sail panel to ttop area and compared both sides and they are the same.... Is it possible for the hatch to have slid backwards? Is it possible to tighten the sail panel down or does anyone have any thoughts?

Do you hear this noise while you are driving or is it heard by the person sitting in the passenger seat? It's common to notice wind noise when you are sitting next to the window, but not from the other side of the car.

Do you notice this at all speeds?

while driving the lil black triangle outside the sail panel is starting to come loose at the bottom but not to merit that much noise
