Default Drivers Side Wind Noise

Hello,

So the window stripping is messed up AGAIN. When you close the window, it bends backwards and folds, allowing air to get into the cabin. Here are a few pictures and video of the noise. I assume I need to have this replaced? Can I order the OEM myself?

I had the exact same problem. Took the car to a body shop and they fixed. No more wind from my driver side door. Parts from lexus/toyota is cheap with their labor, they charged me $ 105.00 in total

I haven't had time to take it to the shop. When closing, the window is really messing up the seal. It has been so bad I can't even drive it. LOL

I plan on taking it by this garage soon to get an estimate.

Try applying some silicone spray to the rubber and wiping it on there. I had a similar issue. I saturated the rubber seals with WD-40 Silicone Spray and wiped it on there. I then moved the window up and down a few times and now it doesn't fold anymore. No more noise.
