wind noise sucks

My 06 drivers window (06 coupe) leaks so much air that it sounds like I'm in a wind tunnel. I've had it back to the dealer 3 times and every time they say it's fixed. They adjusted the window to where the gap at the back is not that bad but now the front has a small gap. The dealer said that they replaced the rubber gasket and nothing changed.
Anyone else have this problem and why doesn't the side windows close all the way anyway. The gap (side window)at the back, the 1/4 to 3/8th of an inch sucks.

The gap you are experiencing points to larger issues, BUT, have they tried adjusting the actual door fit?

It's coming from the window and all coupes ( at least the 06) have the window gap. I am not sure it they all have wind noise or just mine. The rubber gasket might need to be replaced again and again until they fix the problem. I parked it at my dealer and told them not to return it until fixed.
Maybe it could be a door problem I don't have a clue other than the noise sucks.

anyway thanks for response, another direction to look could hold the answer.

I agree that the main cause of your problem obviously lays elsewhere...

However - if the door is not adjusted properly, when closed it may be subject to slight 'flexing'...this, in turn, may cause a misalignment in the glass channels...

It is a long-shot, and definitely not the underlying cause, but worth checking into...

Just my .02

Good luck...

I have zero wind noise in my coupe. Coming from two other SRT's that did have wind noise and tops that seemed to vibrate, the coupe is rock solid. No problems at all with that here. Have the dealer check your door.

I to have NO wind noise comeing from the windows, I do how ever have a slight whistle, but it is comeing from the mirrors, and another member told me to fold them in, I did just that to assure myself they were the mirrors, and they were. The whistle isnt that bad. .02

Yes, I have a fair amount of wind noise in my 06 Coupe(50MPH and above).

Certainly more than my GTS had.
