135i Window seal wind noise at 65 MPH +

OK, I have an update. Now that the colder weather is here I got the senior tech to take a ride and was able to reproduce the noise.

They made adjustments to the glass and the noise has gone (at least for now) so all is well . . . .

Now about that PPK I'm considering . . . . maybe in the spring.

Regards,

Can someone make some suggestions on what to use to lube the door seals? I'm having this issue around 75-80 on the passenger side.

Pure silicone spray is probably the best for door and window seals.

I said I would never own another car with frameless door windows, but here I am. Oh well. They just seem to always have problems sealing properly.

Sorry, not silicone spray. Use Silicone and it will squeak like mad. This is what you use on door seals, one container goes a long way - I've been using this for over 20 years now:
