Wind noise
I get some wind noise around the outside mirrors around 70-80 mph. It is not the window seal, that is tight. Any ideas?

Could be the mirrors... if they have been bumped or something, could just be wind deflection from an off angle.

I'm pretty sure they are aligned properly. Also, it seems to be worse when the wind is at an angle.

My 2000 is the same. The design of not having a frame around the windows is not the best for sealing out wind noise. A cross wind makes it worse. It is still a quiet car in my opinion and the bit of wind noise is not enough to bother me. They did change the design in subsequent years.
