There had been a lot of wind noise on my passenger side window so I brought it to the dealership to get it fixed. They told me they got it fixed and judging by the engine oil temp gauge, they even took it on a test drive. When I took it on the road I too thought the wind noise issue had been resolved.

A month later I realized depending on wind direction and speed, wind was still able to come in through the window. I also feel like the dealership made have actually made the situation worse. I never bothered to contact the dealership about it figuring they were incompetent ( a small interior trim piece was damaged during their attempt at resolving the issue, although they replaced it for free).

While driving with a passenger today (6 months after the dealership visit), the wind noise came up again and my passenger was able to push the top of the window to allow more wind in. I'm not sure whether the passenger was pushing the top of the window or putting their finger between the window and the seal. Upon looking at the passenger window in more specifically today I realized the passenger side window does not seem to roll up enough to allow the middle portion to fully touch the seal. The front portion seems to touch though but I am not too sure. The gap between the middle portion and the seal is large enough to allow my fingers to latch on to it from the outside and I feel like if I tried hard enough I could perhaps stick something through the window from the gap.

The driver's side window seals perfectly and does not have wind noise. What is the cause of the passenger side's issue? When I first brought it to the dealership I thought the issue was the window was not sitting tight enough to the seals (horizontal shift required), but now it seems that a vertical shift is required too.

What should I do? What seems to be the culprit?
Does it go after door is closed?
