Help: Wind tunnel effect

[sdversion]

Two weeks after I bought the car I noticed that there is a wind tunnel effect on the passenger side window (air leaking noise). I took it to the dealer twice and they replaced the weather strips but the effect is still there. They said they don't see any problems with it, which obviously there is because the driver side is fine. I made an appointment with another dealer but I don't know if they are going to be able to fix this. Any thoughts?

Ask them to reinitialize the window motor, the motor is a module, it needs to learn where the fully up position is, it may not be going up far enough to seal.

or you can do it yourself, pull fuse #26 in the RH kick panel while using that window, put the fuse back in, the auto function should no longer work. now the window has been uninitialized.

now, to reinitialize it, start with the window all the way down, hold the switch up to the second detent(auto up) until about 3 seconds after it stops(you should hear the motor click shutting itself off). next do the same on the auto down detent, repeat up and then down again.

now just check and make sure the auto up and down works, if it works you're good to go, if not just repeat the last part of the process again.

you're welcome, usually the fuses are labeled on the cover of the fuse box, if not check your owners manual. the procedure may be in the owners manual as well.
