Wind Noise

I bought my 2013 GT Sport in April, and am loving the experience so far. One slight irritation however; at motorway speeds, if there's a large gust of crosswind, I get a whistling from the top of the driver's door. Lowering and re-closing fixes the issue until the next gust, but this can be a bit tiresome after a while. Since it's doing this at 70mph, I guess it would be worse if I were abroad doing a higher speed.
Is this something that people have experienced and fixed? If so is it an easy one or is it a dealer job?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I had similar issue, although on the older 3200.
Solved by simply conditioning the seals, I used GT85, even car wax and was fine.
Seemed to be a lighty dry seal that obviously couldnt do its job properly.
Have also padded out seals in the past with silicone piping to the same result of improving the seal.

Thanks - I'll give that a whirl. Disappointing in such a relatively recent car though.

I had mine for loud cabin noise when I bought it and squeaky windows, the guy I bought it from had sent it to GrayPaul a few times now I know it seems a common trait of dry seals and needs a bit of lube... over
