I need some serious help with my passenger side door. I've replaced all the weather stripping on the door and I still can't get rid of the wind noise. Is there anybody here who has experience with this? The new stripping went on the driver side just fine, and hasn't been a problem.

Eliminating wind noise coming through doors and windows is a fairly straightforward topic, addressed in generic topics which of course apply to Third Gens too. Door is in alignment? Window properly adjusted? Gaps measured and adjusted? There are tests for these fittings, including gauges and smoke. Our cars sometimes have issues with the front triangular door/window panel, it might need additional weather stripping to block wind noise. I assume you're referencing hard tops, of which I've had several. On ragtops, this is a whole different topic, one I know quite intimately.

I've adjusted it so it's not as bad as it was initially. However, every new adjustment comes with another set back. If I adjust it one way, I won't get a good seal along the roof line, but the corner will seal up nicely. If I get that right, the window is adjusted so far inboard that it won't roll up again if I roll it down. I've basically run out of patience and am hoping that a better mind that mine could fix it.

adjust the dooronly , ignore the window for now. use a piece of paper th check for gaps ( close the door on the paper and pull) if it sticks the seal is good if loose -bad . or you can use a hair drier on low heat , once the door is good start to roll the window up ( you will have to remove the door panel ,but its probably already off , so then adjust the window with the door closed you may want to have somebody helpby pushing on the glass against the seal while you tighten the adjustments . treat the new seals with clear silicoln spray to prolong their life NOT ARMORALL.

You replaced the weather stripping on the door, but your adjusting the window.Where is the leak coming from?

I've replaced all the weather stripping. When all the new stripping went on, the window wouldn't seal properly against the roof rail and there was a nice sized gap between the bottom forward portion of the triangle and the roof rail stripping. At this point I just want to pay someone to do it right.

Be cheaper to buy the haynes manual.It shows you how to adjust the window properly.I know how to do it, but im in OC.

I have the GM book for the car and even it's rather vague as to how it's done. If you can do this well, I'll pay you to fix it.
