Thanks for the help GusA.

I have now located the issue!! It's definitely the wing mirror. 2 photos showing you where the wind noise comes from. If these are taped up or covered with your hand, zero noise. Now to figure out what to do to fix!

Just checked mine again and the gaps look pretty much identical to yours. Going to be difficult as it moves but maybe take the cover off and re-seat it?

Solved it. Took the door card off, removed wing mirror and reseated everything. The window trim had moved a few mm and could slide left and right. I've pushed it fully against the wing mirror area and put back together. No wind noise now !

Ta.... Its useful to update these threads - searching through, there are so many unanswered by people asking questions where I bet they found an answer.
Anyway, thankfully its sorted now it's been properly annoying me....

Can I ask how easy was it to get the door panel off. Do you have or know where instructions can be found?

I have a rattle in my passenger side I would like to investigate.

Very easy. It's a few screws and pops off. Won't take long at all.

There's a useful video by a forum member I believe too....
