Drivers Side Draft
#11
I have the same issue with my DII. It started this year after I had the headliner reupholstered. I'm hazarding a guess it's the seal on my back passenger window as it sounds a bit windy back there and the draft wafts up into the driver's seat and wraps its way around my head and neck. I've poked around a bit but haven't pinpointed the culprit yet. Coincidental that it started when the headliner was removed and recovered? Probably not.
Double check those felt tracks in the window vertical channels. Once they have slid down, they work as a little air scoop(s), pulling air in and blowing it forward within the area of the drivers seat.

I checked mine again after some comments. I turned off the heat/AC to make sure it wasn't any of those fans. I'm not feeling a draft around the window or the door handle.
Where I fell a draft coming in is at the seat belt opening in the B pillar. I'm sitting here and for the life of me I can't figure out where air would be coming in to that cavity.

Your issue sounds exactly like mine, wind blowing on the back of my neck and head. Drove me crazy for a few weeks, put new rubber seals on passenger door frame, then added more sealing...since new seals didn't help. No change. Finally, I notice the felt track in the window channel had dropped down, about two inches. Which s probably more common in our cold climate area, with ice freezing to the glass and felt track, and pulling down the felt when opening window.

I'll have to eat my words. I was driving down the road the other day flailing my arms around like a crazy person trying to find the source of the draft. I originally thought it was coming from/around the driver's seat belt in the B pillar. However after stretching a little farther back (while driving mind you ). That's when I realized it was coming from the rear window. Low and behold the felt had dropped about halfway down the opening and it was causing the draft I felt in the front seat.
Problem solved.

Wow Brian - thank you! That is exactly the issue on mine and only on the one window. Either half the felt channel is missing (?!) or it has crept that far down into the window cavity... just went and checked this afternoon and will try to pry it out tonight. Thanks again!
