Odd Window Wind Noise Issue

If I'm driving down the road and I lower my driver window for whatever reason..once I put it back up there's wind noise. It seems to be coming from the rear top corner. To get rid of the noise, I put my window down the very, very slightest amount. Wind noise gone. 2 minutes later, I can put my window all the way back up..and no noise.

This is a very odd issue.

Any ideas?

Is there much lateral play in the window track? Pressure differential while driving can have a negative effect on how the window closes. My RX300 would make wind noise if I opened and closed the driver's window at freeway speeds. If I did it while stopped, no noise...

Same issue with my 04 LS430. I can roll the window a touch and then back again sometimes the wind noise will be gone. Don't know if I need to lube the rubber up and then with what?

There's no noise in a 04 Lexus LS430 (Insert there's no crying in baseball effect here)

Try a little of Shin-Etsu grease on the weather strip.
