Are my roof rails the cause of the wind noise?
I occasionally take a 3 hours trip to visit my girlfriend's family and the wind noise on the highway has almost driven me crazy. I have always assumed it was the drivers side rear door seal since I can feel some air coming in from around the window but I finally attempted to temporarily solve the issue by thoroughly taping up the frame but it made no difference. (I had already attempted to loosen and adjust them) Are the pre-03 roof rails the culprit?? Are the 03-04 any better?

I almost forgot: just a couple of weeks ago, I removed the A pillar trim on the right side, just to have a look. When I re-installed it, I left the three plastic trim buttons out. On the first trip, the wind noise howl was so extreme (at 25 miles per hour!) that I pulled over and popped them back in. Noise gone!
