Looking forward to the video! Have you had a chance to test your adjustments and do they eliminate the wind noise?Just recorded a video for adjusting the window tracks, will upload soon. Hopefully it turned out ok, first one I've done.
Tools needed:
Small flat head screwdriver
T27 Torx bit driver
3mm Allen wrench
8mm nut driver
10mm nut driver

Possible window glass/regulator adjustment.My only window noise issue comes from the passenger side door. When I press the window itself the noise becomes super loud like whistling noise and especially when going 200km/h it's very loud and annoying. This does not happen when I press on the driver's side door when driving above 100.
Any tips
I posted here about installing rubber tubing in the fender/A-pillar gap. I do notice a decrease in wind noise - only hear windshield rustling now. The rest of the cabin is quiet.

I mean in comparison to the other doors which aren’t to bad, the passenger door especially is like crazy loud rustling. So I thin something wrong. Also when I close the door when I first get in it feels like the passenger door window moves. When I open and close it again it doesn’t do it.so loud at such low speed, wonder why.
@olerass sorry if this is obvious, but why did you use D-type where you did and B-type where you did? What is the advantage of each for their respective applications here?
Here's the video. Hope this helps someone.
Really helpful video for door panel removal - thank you! Concise and clear, and you cover all bases, even showing how to recover an errant clip grommet
Can you specify on your photo with an arrow where the double-seal you are referring to is? Also, do you have another photo of the passenger side for comparison to show the difference more clearly?Got a chance to play around with the car again. Went for a drive and the wind noise was not fixed.
Took the door apart again and started adjusting, then doing the dollar bill window seal check. Ended up putting the front adjuster back to it's original position. I now have a total of 6 counter-clockwise turns on the rear adjuster. Stopped there since the stud started getting too loose with any more than that.
Went for another drive and the intermittent wind noise is noticeably better. It's not gone though.
Upon further inspection, there is a spot along the B pillar seal near the top where the window should have a double-seal. The inner portion of that seal seems to be making contact ok after adjusting the window, but there's a small gap on the outer portion of the seal. I believe this may be where the remaining wind noise is coming from. Checked passenger side and it's touching correctly. Seth2020's post above may solve this issue by adding another seal. Alternatively, I'm going to try to find something to stuff under the factory seal to push it out and against the window.

That gap was particularly bad on my car, so, last Fall, I pulled out the rubber gasket, and just a little bit sits on top of the glass on the B-pillar. May not look as nice, but if it helps keep it quieter, then I can live with it. It seems to sit in place just fine, no support behind it.Got a chance to play around with the car again.
