Default driver side wind noise--common?/cure?

I have a significant amount of wind noise on driver's side from 60 mph on up. Is this a common problem with the GS--98 to 00? Have any of you ever tried to address this? I assume it's coming from the mirror but can't be sure. Thanks

Silky,

There is a TSB to address this issue - take it to the dealer to see if your car falls into the group that gets fixed. The title of the thread below has the TSB number if you want to jot it down, as well as pictures of the problem getting fixed.

Thanks Dave for the response.

What's a TSB? My car is a certified used lexus. Would repairs be covered? It sounds like there could be more than one source of the wind noise--seal at top of the door and/or something at the base of window accessed inside the door panel--right?
