All:
I have noticed wind and/or road noise coming from the RR door. As it turns out that door is flush with the outside body, but a sheet of paper slides very easily when closed on the door. In contrast the same paper test is much harder to pull on the DR door and it is not flush with the body. Any suggestions? See pic. So the seal is much tighter on the DR where the door is misaligned with the body.

You might be able to adjust the striker on the door. I attempted to adjust my passenger rear door due to a striker misalignment but was unable to move it enough. Having the dealer adjust it currently.

Ok so I fixed the wind noise from my drivers side door up top. The strikes can be adjusted but that wasn't the main issue. The door was off at the hinges. Comparing the top of the driver's door to drivers side passenger door the front drivers door was off by about an 1/8 of an inch lower than passenger door. Loosened bolts on drivers door supported it with jack and pad. She lined right up. Adjusted striker and no more wind noise and looks a hell of a lot better too. Just an fyi fellas.
