I’ve been hearing a bit of wind noise coming from the rear doors when cruising on the highway (70–80 mph). Out of curiosity, I sat inside and did the dollar bill test along the rear door jambs. I found that the bill slides out with minimal resistance from the B-pillar section going downward (window section is solid). It seems like the hard edge of the rear door isn't pressing tightly enough against the soft rubber weather stripping mounted on the car body to create a solid seal. I’m planning to take it to the dealer next week to have them look at it under warranty. From what I’ve read online, this is usually fixed pretty easily by just adjusting the door striker inward by a millimeter or two. Has anyone else dealt with this issue? Did a simple striker adjustment fix it, or did they have to do anything else (like replace the seals)?

Summary
The post is about a car door seal and wind noise, not a home window issue.
Reasoning
This is clearly an automotive warranty/door-striker problem involving rear doors and weather stripping on a car, with no indication the author is a homeowner dealing with house windows or considering window replacement.
