I bought my wife an ES350 on May 24, 2006 and noticed the wind noise on the driver side while driving home on I95. The dealer first said it was normal but after we drove another he agreed it was excessive. They kept the car for a week investigating the problem. They removed the window run channel rubber and shimed the front corner area. They said that it would take too long to get a replacement part from Lexus. This solved the problem. It is now quiet at all speeds. The work was done by Lexus of Palm Beach.

This is our fourth Lexus and the second with a wind noise problem. This is the first that was fixable.
