Default Drivers Window

My drivers window seems to make a sort of buffeting sound at speeds at or over 40 miles an hour - all windows are closed. If I press on the window at those speeds with my finger the sound stops. I tried jamming some small cut up pieces of weather stripping from Home Depot into the window molding as a way to try to apply some extra pressure on the window but that didn't really work. Any suggestions? If there isn't an easy DYI (and I mean EASY - I am not pulling the door card) - where would be a good place to get it sorted? A auto glass shop, autobody, dealer etc. Most people woulndt really notice of be bothered, but it drives me a little crazy.

Our has done this since we bought it in 2019. I've tried numerous things and nothing has worked . I just consider it a quirk of the vehicle. It's only really noticeable at high vehicle speed and significant crosswinds that I've noticed on ours

But it drives me crazy - I do find that if I open the sun roof it goes away.

opening the sunroof makes it go away now that's just bizarre. I would think that the noise coming in to the sunroof would be more annoying than a window rattling. Are you sure that that window is totally up and pressing into its frame? If not there's a process for resetting your window . I believe all you do is hold on the down button till it goes all the way down and then hold it for 4 seconds then push the up button and hold it there while it's totally closed for 4 seconds do that a couple times and it's supposed to reset the limits

I search for this online and is this the procedure where you have to take the motor out? Maybe an autobody place might be best?
