Wind noise after replacing seal

My driver's door glass seal had a year in it. I installed a new seal and I am certain it is correctly installed. On the interstate it whistles very loud when the glass is all the way up.

Comparing the two sides, the drivers glass lows lower than the passenger. The glass is still indexing though. Any ideas?

My wifes '13 GT came from the factory with the drivers side class out of line. The Tech pulled the door panel, and took care of the problem. Could that be the cause?

Window calibration from the 2013 manual (actually more than that):

POWER WINDOWS

Press or lift the switches to operate the windows.

Press the switch to the first detent and hold to open the window.
Lift the switch to the first detent and hold to close the window.

One-Touch Up or Down (Front Windows)

This feature automatically opens or closes the window.

Press or lift the switch completely and release. The window will fully open or close. Press or lift it again to stop the window.

Restoring the One-Touch Up Functionality

Note: Perform one-touch up re-calibration with the door closed.

Calibrating with the door open will cause the window to continuously bounce back.

Functionality may be lost under low battery power conditions.

To reset this function after restoring full battery power:

1.Pull the switch to the one-touch up position.
2.Hold the switch until the glass reaches the stall position and continue to hold for two seconds.
3.Press the switch down and operate the window to the full down position. One-touch up will now be functional.

Bounce-Back

The window will stop automatically while closing and reverse some distance if there is an obstacle in the way.

Overriding the Bounce-Back Feature

Pull up the window switch and hold within two seconds of the window reaching the bounce-back position. The window will travel up with no bounce-back protection. The window will stop if the switch is released before the window is fully closed.

Short Drop Glass (Front Windows)

This feature lowers the glass when either door is opened to improve door efforts and sealing. The glass returns to its closed position when the door is closed.

Re-Calibrating a Window

Note: Perform short drop re-calibration with the doors closed.

Re-calibrating with doors open will cause the window to continuously bounce back.

If a window will not raise again when the door is closed, use the switch to fully raise the window, then hold the switch up for two seconds.

If a window will not lower when the door is opened:

1.Use the switch to fully lower the window, then hold the switch down for two seconds.
2.Immediately after releasing the switch, pull the switch up to fully raise the window and hold the switch up for two seconds.

Rear Power Windows (Convertible Only)

The rear quarter windows are operated by a single switch located at the driver’s door window controls.

Press and hold the switch to open the windows.
Pull up and hold the switch to close the windows.

Manual Override

The rear quarter window switch will not operate when:

the convertible top is moving
the convertible top is not completely up or down.

The rear quarter windows can be manually raised if the switch does not operate when the convertible top is completely up or down.

The following procedure must be performed within two minutes:

1.Switch the ignition off, then back on.
2.Press the rear window switch down three times.
3.Switch the ignition off, then back on.
4.Pull the rear window switch up and hold it for three seconds. The rear windows will begin to start moving up.

Accessory Delay

You can use the window switches for several minutes after you switch the ignition off, or until either front door is opened.

I followed the above instructions and it did not make a difference. I was able to move the glass up slightly with my hands.

The seal I installed looks fine and is properly installed.

I've not had the chance to have a look at this since the last update.

I followed the instructions above and it did not change anything. When looking at the glass when it is all there way up, there is a small gap compared to the good side. The replaced seal is properly installed.

I'm going to take it to a stealership, but I am wondering if I should purchase a new one seal to avoid paying stealership prices. The seal I originally bought was new old stock oem. 30k miles ago the window did become unseated.

What's the best/cheapest way of going about this?
