Wind Noise on my 2008 LS

I did the install this weekend. It is very easy to do. I was blessed with a package that came in the mail from a kind and generous member. I won't name who in case they want don't want a flood of messages. They sent me the metal pieces. I have had enough time to tell if there was an improvement or not. Today was the first day driving on the highway. I'm think it is better but I don't want to make a determination so quickly.
Thank you again for your help and donation to my cause.

I have an apt with the dealership on Friday. I think I found the problem per your suggestions,

Yep, that's definitely a problem.

It's hard to tell from the picture exactly what has happened. But, it looks like the window gasket will have to be replaced.

You'll probably have to have a dealer or independent replace the rubber gasket that goes around the top and sides of the glass.

They are going to fix the problem for like 300 bucks. The entire Window gasket had to be replaced? They are giving me a discount due to me being in there before for the same type of window / wind noise.
The Tech said he only sees this problem with the drivers side window for the most part.

DId you attempt a fix yourself before resigning it to a dealer? For such a cheap, quick and easy attempt, I would have done that first.....especially since the dealer may not cure the issue you're having to your satisfaction.

Probably because the driver is more likely to identify the issue. If we were driving a British spec'd car, the other side would be identified more as having an issue. Both sides of the car are identical with respect to design.
