That’s the one!

Have patience and go slow. It probably too me an hour or so to get it flush. I can’t even begin to imagine how expensive it would be if you go too far…

oh dang an hour?? maybe i should keep at it. did you keep the window up?

I have a tendency to break stuff if I get impatient, so I went slow and steady.

I believe I left the window down.

Check to see if the top corner of the door is seating fully when it’s closed. Easiest way to do that is to put your ear to the outside of the rear passenger window and look down the top line of the doors towards the front.

Mine had the same issue and I found the top of the door was about 1/4” out of line from the rest of the vehicle. Turns out the PO’s college-aged daughter had a habit of locking her keys in it. I’m assuming a locksmith went a little too wild with the airbag and tweaked the top of the door during one of the several lockout calls.

After a few you tube videos I managed to muscle the door back into line. Wind noise solved.

this fixed my issue! no more wind noise!!

jump to around 4:30 or so

This method was super easy and worked.

Glad our cruiser doors are much more robust than the Kia in this video
