lots of wind noise

There is a TSB on the subject of wind noise from the area in the traingular area just behind the mirror where the tweeter goes.

It's not terribly uncommon in these frameless windows. A trip to the dealer reporting the problem will have ya fixed in a jiffy--the tension of the window against the gasket is adjustable.

There have been a lot of postings here and complaints to dealer about it. My dealer tried to say it didn't exist. Gave my wife a hard time about it while I was out of the country. When I returned, we moved (from Florida to Alaska) noise returned in opposite door. Someone posted here a while back saying to pinch that plastic triangle together till it's about flat. It helped on my car. Annoying, not a permanent fix, but I it's something that I can do in a couple of minutes and it's gone for a few months....

This may sound strange but it worked for me. I had a 1999 Impreza RS 2.5 with a whistling noise that drove me nuts. It would come and go and seemed to be affected by the wind and what direction I was driving. At times it was so loud and so aggravating that I had to laugh. The sound seemed to be coming from the mirror area or side window near the dash but it was hard to tell. It was in the frequency range that human ears are very sensitive but have a difficult time detecting the direction of. One day I had enough and headed out the door with a roll of masking tape. I found a quiet back road and started taping seams and window edges until I had the doors and hood seems all covered. Finally as a last resort I taped over the gaps around front headlights. Bingo! What I found was that by removing the front corner marker lights and placing a piece of foam weather strip that filled the vertical gap between the headlight and the corner light lens it stopped everything. It amazed me how far the cause of the problem was from the apparent location of the sound when you are sitting in the drivers seat. I had even had passengers try to locate the source and with out fail they would point to the lower corner of the windshield or the corner of the side window near the mirror. A simple way to see if your problem is the same is to just place a piece of tape over the vertical gap between the headlight and corner marker lens. If it works you can invest the time and effort to do the less conspicuous fix. Good luck.
