sounds like you have either worn, cracked, or missing weatherstripping.

I have alot of wind noise as well. It could be just the fact that is it a vert, or could be weather stripping, doors sagging, ect.

A vert is a bit louder than a coupe when the top & windows are up. What do you mean by wind noise? Is it a whistling sound maybe from around the side windows? That's not normal

Mine isn't that loud. Something might be wrong there.
