I'm wanting to know if anyone else has this problem.

I didn't find this out until a bit after I bought my car- but, I noticed there seemed to be a lot of wind noise around my driver's side window on the highway.

I looked at both windows and found out that while the passenger side window closes tight against the top seal in the door frame, the driver's side window does not. It closes all the way, but doesn't tuck up in that extra 1/8" or so against the very top seal. If you're sitting inside the car, you can push out on the top of the glass on the driver's side door, but not on the passenger side.

I tried all the window reset tricks outlined online and in the manual, pulling the fuse and then disconnecting the battery, but apparently nothing I do will fix it because the window doesn't actually adjust the position it closes in (or at least I can't get it to).

What can I do???

Don't know if you've tried this yet. I found on another website...

Short drop glass (Front windows only)
In order to improve door efforts and sealing, your vehicle is equipped
with short drop glass. This feature lowers the glass when either door is
opened. The glass returns to its closed position when the door is closed.
Proper operation of the short drop glass requires that the windows be
calibrated.

Though your windows will have been calibrated before
your vehicle is delivered to you, it is possible for the windows to
lose calibration. If a window loses its calibration, your short drop
feature will lower the window, but will not raise it again when the door is
closed. To re-calibrate the window, pull the switch up to raise the
window until it completes its travel and hold the switch up for 2
seconds. Another possible effect of lost calibration is that the feature
may not lower the window. To re-calibrate the window in this case, lower
the window until it completes its travel and hold the switch down for 2
seconds. Immediately after releasing the window down switch, pull the
switch up to raise the window until it completes its travel and hold the
switch up for 2 seconds. Perform Short drop re-calibration with
doors closed only. Re-Calibrating with doors open will cause the
window to continuously bounce back.

Mine did this once and it seemed to fix itself. Maybe I did the reset without knowing it.

If the tricks dont work, its stealership time.
Or fix it yo self....

Well the thing is, the "short drop" DOES work. It just doesn't seem to close all the way when the door is shut.

As I stated I tried recalibrating twice and it doesn't seem to do anything. Once by pulling the fuse, and once by just disconnecting the battery.

157 dB I appreciate the link but that looks like Greek to me...and I don't know if this is a problem with the electronics or the mechanism. Bah...

Maybe I should inquire as to how much the stealership would want to check this out.

Sounds like it'll take a mechanical adjustment. Not a big deal but certainly a PITA.

look at the bottom of the door for a bolt.
loosen it up.
remove reflector on the inside of the door.
adjust bolt behind reflector so glass seals up better. : }
retighten bolt on bottom of door.
reinstall reflector.

ghunt: I have the exact same problem with my drivers window. It doesnt seal tight on the top corner and lets in tons of air noise at highway speed. Also lets in tiny spurts of water when I run through the touchless wash in the winter, though it does seal out the rain.

Then fix it dear willie, dear willie, dear *****.
Then fix it dear *****, dear *****, fix it.

Keep meaning to fix it, smarty pants. But someone slightly more interesting always seems to pop up. This is one of those issues you only think about when its occurring. Otherwise its out of sight, out of mind.
