I just noticed that I am getting alot of wind noise on the drivers side window - right by the mirror. Has anyone encountered this and what was the fix.

The rubber door seal might be fitting improperly.
I had this problem as well and found a quick but unfortunately not permanent fix; with the window down just squeeze the the rubber pieces together...works for me!
Hi Dennis, the window tension against the gasket is adjustable (somehow). I've had mine adjusted by the dealer's service folks once or twice during the warranty period. Perhaps additional tension against the gasket is needed in your case.

Do the above and train yourself not to close the door pushing on the glass, push on the lower ,metal, door section. You may still need to squeeze the mirror/gasket area every few months.

Replace the mirror gusset (the triangular piece the mirror is screwed to) Requires removal of door trim panel.
