Power Window adjustment? Wooshing sound.
I've noticed that if I have the radio off, and driving at even normal speeds, it sounds as if the window was slightly down, a small wooshing sound.. yet the controls show that it is totally up.
In my old manual window car, when this happend, I'd give a quick tug on the window mechanism and it'd stop as the window seated itself properly at the top of the track.
It also could be my imagination and that the sound is so minimal that it could be normal.. I don't remember during my test drive, and no one else I know has an 8.
I'm wondering if anyone knows if there is a sort of power window adjustment inside the door that maybe tells the control that the window is at it's highest point, or does it rely on a pressure type sensor to know when it's up at max height?
If it's an adjustment type thing, then I'll talk to the dealer next time it's in for service.

Why are you convinced the window is not fully closed? Could be a door seal or the mirror and so on....
You can check if the window goes all the way up. Put some aluminum foil on top and roll it up. Bent and keep in place the foil in the upper channel, then roll the window down. Check if the foil went all the way to the bottom of the top grove....

Or an easier way is: With window all the way up. Grab glass on both sides(one hand on inside,one on outside)and pull up on the glass. Does it move up? If yes, than get dealer to adjust. If not,than it's probably door seal or something else.
