Wind Noise From Rear Driver's Side Window???

The one all the way in the back, on the driver's side, the one that doesn't roll down, etc.
At speeds of 35 and greater I just noticed a distinct wind noise.
:furious:

Guess I'll check it out tomorrow. My future mother-in-law even pointed it out today. She sat back there and said it seems to be coming from the back of the window.
I will be pissed if it's a Sky Slider issue.

Bump. Made my girlfriend ride in the backseat as I drove around at 35-45mph. She said it's definitely from the rear quarter window, but can't tell if it's the top or bottom. My guess is the top.
Should I try to seal it better with windshield sealant? :dizzy:

I think if it were mine I'd take it to an auto glass shop. If you're hearing wind noise there, the quarter window might be loose. I'd have the shop take it off and reattach it (which is not something I would be comfortable doing myself). Every time you close a door the window gets a push from the inside air, so it might not be long before the glue gives out.

Okay, thanks. I wanted to be 100 percent sure of where it was coming from. I need to find an auto glass shop near me. I have no work tomorrow, so that could be on the agenda.
Until then, still open for suggestions.
Can't think of any reason why it would be loose. The only theory I have is that I was the Jeep so much that maybe the soap has started to deteriorate around the window?

Okay, so today I gave the window another look. I'm a little clueless, but have a few ideas before taking it somewhere.
I was thinking some weatherstripping on the interior might work, or some sort of sound deafening material stuffed into the oem jack location area.
I have found this area is where I can inspect the window pretty well with my hand, but that doesn't solve the problem.
Might call my buddy up right no to make him sit in the rear cargo area to pinpoint the location. :ROTFL:

So it looks like the problem is solved.
When I removed the side skirts, I must have messed with the location of the wheel well liner. Popped it back in place.
Went on a drive and I don't hear it anymore. Will report back tonight as I have some more driving to do.
