Window Wind Noise V70-XC70 1998

Hello everyone,

I've got a bit of wind noise coming from the top of the window on the driver's side front door. It's definitely coming from the weather stripping that contacts the glass (ie: not from the door-to-body weatherstrip).

I know the window rail is in some state of disrepair as I have the telltale rattle when closing the door with the window rolled down.... Is this just a matter of the window being out of alignment due to a break in this rail? Or is the weatherstripping wearing out? Both maybe?

Any suggestions about how to tackle this one?

It is because you need to fix the rail, the glass is out of alignment. Really an easy job, once you get the door panel off. Do it before it gets too cold out, the plastic tabs tend to get brittle below 5C.
