Problem overview

Some Toyota Sienna owners report experiencing persistent driver's side window noise issues, particularly wind noise at speeds of 40 mph and higher, which resembles a window being slightly open. This noise tends to become especially pronounced on highways and windy days. Despite multiple service attempts, including replacing rubber seals in the roof rail channel, many owners find that the problem remains unresolved. Some have considered alternatives such as switching to laminated glass for the driver side window and adding soundproofing materials like Dynamat to the door to reduce the high-pitched wind noise. Additionally, owners of Limited or Platinum models, which feature side acoustical glass, have suggested sealing gaps with gaskets as potential solutions. Reports also indicate rattling noises from the driver's side front window or door area, especially during driving or when playing music with bass. Furthermore, there have been cases where the driver side sliding door cable has snapped, complicating both power and manual operation of the door. Despite these various attempts to address the issue, many Toyota Sienna owners continue to struggle with finding a lasting resolution.
