Rubber door seal and wind noise

[pantera928]

With the windows up and cruising down the highway, there is a lot of wind noise coming from the tops of the doors. My seals look to be in good shape and everything seems to line up pretty well but the wind noise is quite prevalent. 

Is this just the nature of the beast or can anything be done?

 

Thanks

In my humble opinion, Studebaker Avanti and Avanti ll ( thru '85) door weatherseals leave a lot to be desired!

you can't listen to the radio in my '83, but my '80 is relatively quiet. go figure.

No, definitely not

RQB3263/81 .... It would appear then that the window regulator/ele. motor  is not pushing the window up high enough to seal..... I replaced both regulators in RQB3263  recently (2022)  ... it was a project .... but well worth it

RQB3263 .... i JUST RE READ YOUR POST....I guess I miss interpreted it....   with the door open  can you pull the window up even a small amount from its most up electric position ??...

Okay, my windows go up fairly tight. Dont see how they could go higher and not interfere with closing the door.
