Default Wind noise from passenger window.

Hello I just bought my new to me 04 Vette. I took her out for a drive today and noticed a lot of wind noise comming from the passenger window when they are all the way up. When I felt the seal with my finger it seems like there is just too much space between the window and the weather stripping. I inspected the stripping and it appears to be fine. Can anyone helo? Thanks.

Try this
Get yourself some Dielectric grease, Yes the type you use for the plug wires, electrical connections, etc. Rub some on all the stripping around the door and windows, be careful just the stripping. Been posted on here a few times, and even though I have not tried it, I hear it works pretty good.

Also, I believe the side windows can be adjusted by the dealership to seal better.

When I felt the seal with my finger it seems like there is just too much space between the window and the weather stripping. I inspected the stripping and it appears to be fine.

Just curious, How much space is "Too much"?
It may be an adjustment problem.

I can easily slide my finger between the window and the lining.

Yea, i'm afraid that's too much space. And it's just the passenger window?
Could have been some work done here before, and I would check into getting it adjusted. I believe adjusting the tracks is a fairly simple process.

Yeah I am not sure if I want to try it myself or bring it in to the dealership. I think you have to remove the door panel and that makes me a little queesy but on the other hand I don't want to loose the car for a day to have them fix it.

I hear you.
Sometimes it's just better to pay the little extra, and have the experts do it. I am feeling more and more comfortable though working on mine since i bought the service manuals.
