HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! PLEASE??

i think you need to adjust the window unit, you need to take the door apart and do so. im assuming that the window starts rolling up slower when its almost to shut.
as for the wind noise, open ur door, close the window completely, shut the door, and then drive again. if the window shutted well, then you wouldnt hear any noise.

i have the same problem...i though it was that the unit was old and needed to be replaced or maby because its cold the motor is messed up how do you adjust the window unit?

I need to know too..

yep yep, same thing going on here.

i tried shutting the door again and again but it don't help..it just whistle and whistle and shit..f*cking annoying..

My driver side window is doing the same thing. It goes slower than the passenger side and also it makes a crack annoying sound whenever is going to close. I hate that sound!

Anybody know what the hell is that??

Do you have gauge and have you messed with the drivers A-pillar?, this will mess with the seal and cause a slight mis seal which makes the whistling.

check that your weather stripping it all centered and not coming off

I don't have any gauge at all..although i did took it off so i can paint it a while back, during the summer..all the weather strip are OK, nothing is coming off..

HAHAHA--I JUST HAD THE SAME PROBLEM MYSELF THEN IT STOPPED COMING UP AND DOWN ALTOGETHER--IT MIGHT BE UR WINDOW REGULATOR--$67--I JUST REPLACED MINE IT'S WORKIN GREAT!

which site?

where did you get it for $67.00

^^^yeah where??

plus ur list is for ur GT..i have a 2000 GTS..

on my 2000 gts I was having the same problem with the driver side window. I'm too poor and cheap to buy a new regulator so I took the door panel off and hosed the window motor and axle down with WD-40, worked fine for about 6 months, then I had to repeat the process. God I'm cheap... lol

^^^as long as it work right?? lol

I have the same problem. I just ignore it or sometimes when it's really bad, I just push it up with my hand while i'm holding down on the window button.

above site is where i got it

how much did you pay for shipping??

I have the same problem also my window goes up slow then it stop leaving a very small space between the glass and rubber. I usually just pull the window up as you lift the button. Oh and I observed that when your window is wet it seals it all the way up :p

that website said it cost $69..not $67..dunno how much for shipping though..

I have the same problem...

ok i was off by $2--sue me----i paid a total of 75 bucks----$6 in shipping cost

^^not bad...too bad they don't have a picture of it on the site..i really don't want to remove the door if i don't have too.

i have a pic-ill post it saturday-with a complete photo install

window regulator

location

window adjustment areas--try adjusting ur window-it took awhile to get it right so it doesnt make noises at high speeds

sounds like your window motor is old and needs to be replaced, or repaired if possible (don't know how to do it though). The wind noise you hear when it is windy is normal in all cars.

I get the noise myself. I roll my window down (while I'm driving) a few inches, then back up again. Noise stops. I have to do this everytime I close the door. It doesn't seal right, untill it's closed when I do it.
