Hi,

This might be a common curse, but I'm new to scooby ownership so here goes. I got a MYO3 WRX barely 2 weeks old, if I go over 60 (or less on a windy day) I get some annoying wind noise coming in from my driver side door - like as if the window isn't shut properly). I told the dealer but the problem is still there, and I think there's even more noise coming in from one of the passenger doors.
If I wash the car, I can see condensation marks under certain parts of the windows which would indicate a gap between the glass and the rubber seals.
Anyone else experience this? Is this normal?!

Thanks,
muppet

If its anything like my STi V all you have to do is wind up the windows with the door open then it seals correctly against the rubber, hope this helps

Its normal for me mate (MY99 UK Turbo)! Worse on my passenger side. It's like the rubber seal hasnt "grabbed" the glass properly. The problem is overcome if you open and shut the door again....obviously not when driving!

Just collected my MY03 and there is no wind noise, unlike my old MY00.

Washed it at the weekend and condensation does form between the seal and the window, but I was using a pressure washer, so water will get in.

Take it back and make them fix it, if there is none on mine you should expect the same.
