I purchased a 1999 GS400 3 months ago and have been unable to get the driver side wind noise eliminated (noticed above 40mph). The window runs have been replaced per a tech service bulletin which didn't help, and most recently the dealer installed some foam strips on the inside mirrow mounting surface. Anyone had any problems like this with their GS?

I have the same problem on my 99 GS300. Can't seem to find the cause. Sometimes it is worse. I think it is the rear of window seal as the noise seems to be behind me.

bought a 98 3 months ago with driver side wind noise. Turned out to be the door latch was loose and door did not close tightly. Not the window at all.

Hope this helps.

i had the same dang problem with my 99 gs300 and the dealership told me it was the tint, i had limo on the driver side, it was to thick. so if you have tint there i would remove it and the problem with stop, but if you dont have tint then i dont know what else it could be. Hope this helps you. :winky:

I have just bought a 2001 GS430 Sport - 18k on the clock with the same problem.

It has had all the door seals and window seals replaced by the dealer but in certain winds it still occurs

Anyone know if its a door positioning issue?

This may sound a bit obscure, but if you have a sunroof check it is competely flush when it is closed.

I've noticed this on my '94 GS300 if the window is completely up i get wind noise, if it just blip the button slightly to lower the window a Millimeter or 2 is goes away. I have noticed that the outer part of the door in the top corner appears to be slightly bent outwards.

I've had this problem in all the cars I drive.

I finally had a doctor friend point out that the problem was Baked Beans.
