Window issue

Ok, My drivers side window hisses when going above about 60MPH. The window appears to have a little flex against the rubber sill the window rolls up against. Does anyone have any idea or suggestions on how to fix this. The passenger side window seems "tighter" when all the way up, as it doesn't hiss or move when you apply a little pressure against it. thanks everyone.

Does the window still do the little up/down dance when you open and close the door? I assume the last upward dance helps seal it.

The windows can get out of wack. Roll them both down all the way and hold the toggles for a 10 count, release, then roll them back up, this may fix it. If it is not doing the little up-down dance when closing the door, it won't seal properly.

Also if the window is not rolled ALL the way up it won't do the dance. I have done this

Thanks for the info, I will try the holding all the way down thing. It does do the the little dance, which freaks people out the first time they see it.

if that doesn't take care of it you can adjust the glass to "push" it upwards against the seal.

There are also adjustments inside the door that may be out of whack, dealer should do this for you under warranty.
