However, at certain times and moving in certain directions against the wind, I can still hear the noise although not nearly as prevelant as before. This is in contrast to the driver's side which is virtually silent. I'm still searching for additional leaks where it could be coming from. Perhaps the sideview mirror? If anyone has further ideas/suggestions/experiences, please pass along.

body plugs
i installed the 90950-1959 in the front and they cut the road noise at least in half. that is on a1999gs400.
i'm pretty sure the rear ones are 90950-1580. i had them in hand and looked at the wrong hole and returned them. today i spotted the correct hole and am 90% sure the 90950-1580 will plug it up
anyway great way to make the car quieter and thanks to everyone for doing all the work.

I have intermittent wind noise from the passenger side window as well. I know it's from the window and not the floor plugs because I can make it go away by repositioning the glass. Not to mention that I ran a diagnostic test with a friend... I actually FELT the wind coming through the seal. Mine is coming from the top corner of the window...
