Hopefully it'll just turn out ot be the door is out of adjustment. That should be a pretty easy fix. (he said crossing his fingers for luck!)

>>:xI noticed a whistling coming from the passenger side. The door appears to not to be closed all the way. It seems to be secure so I am not too worried. I have yet to take it to the shop. I am hoping it is an easy fix. I will be sure to post an update.

Could it be the window (glass) only, or have you seen that the metal part of the door is agap? If the window dipping function quits (which it does more or less often, depending on car), then the glass is too high up in teh frame and will overlap the roof-lip, possibly resulting in the whistling. Check the glass and door to see, and if this is the problem try the dip-reset:
close door, roll window all the way down, and then again all the way up and hold switch in up position for 8-10 seconds.

Well, it was an easy fix. I picked up my car from the shop yesterday. They adjusted the door striker. But my car is back in the shop...
She is getting graphics put on. I had to get the door straight or the graphics would have looked all jacked-up. I will be sure to post some pic's.

Glad you got your car fixed!
Let's see those pics!
I'm getting ready to add some graphics to mine as well, but as magnetics first to see if I like it.
Will post pics soon.
