Default windy drivers window.

Dont know if any of you have had this happen but when my drivers window is shut and i am going about 50-60 mph i get a windy whistling noise. This dosn't happen on the passenger side or on any other impreza i have had in the past its driving me crazy I cant actually see what is causing this to happen everything seems to seal each time the window shuts and there is no visable holes in the rubber would b grateful for any help.

Real common this. Not just with Imprezas but all frameless glass. I work for Autoglass always getting calls about it as said wind deflectors or try new rubber seal as they shrink with age.

Used to get this on my old 01 WRX. Just open and shut the window and the noise stops.
For £725 I'd put up with it too

On my classic if I wind the window up with the door open, then close the door, it lets less air in than if I wind the window up while driving ie door closed.
