    Just wanted to share this with you and see if any one has encountered it before.
    For a few months now I have been hearing whistling noise when I turn the heat/Ac fan to the middle or up. I was under the impression that it is coming from the fan itself. Earlier today while driving I was noticing the sound gets louder when I move my head back toward the rear seats (I have a DC). The sound was coming from the back for sure.
    When I got home m, I turned the fan all the way up and set in the back seats and sure enough the noise was coming out from the middle window as the air was escaping through its seal. I opened it and closed it few times and wiggled a bit and the sound is gone.
    Anyone had this issue?
    Is there any way to treat that window seal/rubber to make it more tight?
    Thanks
