Default wind noise from the drivers door?

I am still getting this wind noise from the drivers door and its driving me insane. The dealer told me the first time that they could not reproduce the whistling noise that I keep hearing. Then the second time they told me it was normal turbulence. I know what turbulence and whistling sound like. I am going in to take the service advisor for a ride to show him what i am talking about. I was wondering if anyone else is having this prob and what did they do to solve it. I am fraking out that I spent 50K on a car and it whistles when driving on open highways. I know when I bought the car I had high expectations but I refuse to accept this as normal noise or " turbulence "

No issues whatsoever with my 07 GS. I purchased mine in 9/06.

It's not normal, hopefully the ride with the service advisor will lead to a resolution.

Is it possible that you collopased your sideview mirrors and when returning to original position, they didn't come back fully?
