Default RX 330: Noise from driver side window or door.

I'm hearing a fluttering sound coming from the driver side door or window on my 2004 RX 330. I think it's caused by the wind blowing against the window. When I push firmly on the window, the noise stops. Any fixes or tsb's out on this...? Thanks.

Yes... search the forum for this problem.
The window over-compresses the rubber seal, which affects the way the seal sits in the door frame, causing an air leak. If you open the window just slightly - enough to reduce the force on the seal - the noise will stop.
If I recall correctly, someone posted that there is a new seal that cures it.

I had a TSB done on Tuesday 3/15/2005 regarding to the wind noise. But I still can hear the wind noise. If I tap down a little bit, the noise is gone. I also notice the window is still tilted like before if I roll it all way up. Does anyone get a second fix to make the noise gone?
