Exclamation Door Seal I hear the great outdoors

while moving(driving) I can hear the the wind flowing in , around , or through the hinge side of my drivers front door.
Outside temp is around 25 to 35 F. It is rather windy out. how ever I hear it in every direction of travel ragardless of the wind.

When I lean over to listen is sound like is is coming from behind the bose tweeter. And by behind I mean the door seal area.

Everything looks good in that area and I can't feel any escaping or intruding rather air flow.

anyone else have this hope fully it is temp related. I bought the car a week ago and am not ready to drive the 214 mile (one way over the rockies) to the dealer and risk being car less or have them keep it giving me a car that I have to take back over the mountain.

I am going to call the dealer but atleast this way my fellow 8 owners can follow me in this journey.


any thoughts are welcome.

slight case of dumbass

Turns out that i am just stupid. After further investigation I found that my window was slighly off track (after tinting) the bottom seal was half tucted downward which sort of pushed the window off course. hope this helps other so they don't go crazy like i did.

Yours truely
the paranoid stupid guy
