Pete: There was a slight problem on early 99 cars in which the window was actually being pushed too far up when closed, and needed to be lowered about 1 mm to get the best sealing position. I very much doubt that this is the problem on the car you tested, if at all. Things like noise level are highly subjective,and I tend not to want to trust a dealers comments to the effectof" We will try to adjust that on your 30 day service". It's a little like trying a stick shift car, thinking it does not shift smoothly, and having the dealer say, :they take about 5,000 miles to loosen up". Ask to drive one with 5,000 miles on it!
I noticed that on my three week old Aero, the wind noise level with the drivers window wide open seems a little higher than on the four year old 9-5 I just sold under the same conditions. It seems like the seat belt gets buffeted around and vibrates,creating a harsher noise, yet I cannot really quantify it. Just something to tolerate as a slight difference.
Try lowering your drivers window just about 1 mm and see if it quiets down. It is possible that your car is slightly out of spec on the window closure.
Good luck
