I still hear lots of wind noise near the left side mirror. The rubber thing that connects the hole in de side of the dashboard with the left front door seems to be ok. I even tried the trick of putting ground-wire behind the rubber door seals like I read here on the forum. But...still wind noise! All rubber seals seem to be ok.
I can't find where it comes from, the problem is that you can only hear the wind noise when driving on the highway. Anyone knows the solution?

Even though the seals seem ok, in time they tend to reduce in shape and allow light wind and water in. Mine are ok, except when I use a high pressure washer or I go over 70 mph. You can always spend the $110 and get the new left side or right side seal and see if that fixes it. The door/window seals are one piece per side, so that would fix any issues on each side.

Confused...a battery where the triangle meets the window? Can you tell me where exactly you put the triple a battery??

.If you take off that little triangle, be prepared to glue it back on because you will probably break it, and take off the door panel. Now look at the “vapor barrier”(plastic sheet). Up by the mirror there is a hole in it to allow the wiring for the elec. Mirror. Seal this up with some duct tape or silicone or whatever. I found this out because the triangle broke off when I shut the door on a cold day. And while driving I could hear the whistle and the draft coming through that hole in the plastic. Good luck
