(not the Microsoft type!)

At speed in excess of 75/80mph my drivers side window and alloy quarterlight frame seem to flex outwards, leading to a lot of wind noise and a draft.

It doesn't feel loose, so is this just a matter of adjusting the window from somewhere within?...

...hang on a minute, the leading edge of the door itself isn't completely flush with the bonnet and scuttle panels, so perhaps the door needs rehanging/adjusting?

Anyone else experienced this problem?

My driver's side was doing this on Saturday and quite alarming it was too, however a hefty open and slam shut cured the issue

I'd look at the latch mechanism at the rear, as that may not be engaging properly, although with the bodywork not being flush at the front I'm probably best ignored!
