I'm not 100% sure I should post this hear, but to me seemd right. Who all here has wind noise in there J? I really speaking about coming from the door? My car did not use to be like this, but latetly it has gotten bad. Does anyone know of a fix?

i used to have it coming from the plastic seal that's around the glass near the end of the door. You can just replace that piece.
Another problem could be that you at one time shut the door on something, and bent the frame near the top of the door, which you can bend back by hand if you yank on it hard enough.

I know the plastic part you are ferring to and actually was thinking it was to do with that. I even tried asdjusting the lock on the door (only to find out that it is not adjustable). The plastic part needs to be replaced anyways so might just do that. Wanted some other idea's. Thanks

Thats the only fix I have heard of for door "wind noise". Replace the b-pillar, and you should be golden. There is another post raoming around somewhere that went into part numbers and prices for this exact problem.

Thanks. Those b-pillars aren't but like $15 each (I bought a couple a few years ago).

Well today I went out and pulled the rubber down and the one on the driversside the B-pillar plastic was around the screw was broke. So that part is only held on by 1 screw now (only 2 to start with). This allows it to pull out some at the top (which is probably my noise). The passenger side was also broke around the screw, but the top had not pulled out. I will be replacing these soon (just need to find a part number). I will post back once done.

I replaced both of my B pillar covers within the last 6 months or so and they helped cut down my wind noise from back there to almost nothing. Now if only my sunroof didn't start to howl like a wolf anytime the car gets over 95.
you beat me to it..... it's your B pillars.... a local j-body enthusiast insists that if you drill a 3rd hole mid way... and put the same type of screw in.. that the b-pillars will not break

Interesting. Funny thing is both of mine have a 3 hole towards the bottem, but no screw, and appeared to be no hole on the door. I will take pictures when I get new ones.
