Wind Noise

I drove my X50 for the first time a few days ago after purchasing it in February. It is a very different car than anything I have driven in the past and the more I drive it, the more I like it.

Anyway, I am getting a fairly loud constant wind noise near the front corner of my driver's side window when I drive more than 40 mph or so. I checked all the windows and the sunroof and it does not appear to any of those. I even checked under the car to see if I was missing any underpanels, not that either.

Anyone have any ideas or encounter this themselves?

Thanks

Mark M is infamous around these parts
Recheck the rubber seal material that compresses against the glass when the door is closed. If you can press against the glass slightly while driving, see if that eliminates the sound. There are also seals below your door panels too. Check for uniformity. I also try to "treat" my seals/moldings with protectant to keep them pliable as well as creating a tighter seal. Try it and report back.
If not, bring it to the dealership!
