This is something that I've actually had since the day I picked up the car but never thought to post about it. If I open either front window above ~55 MPH or so, there is a loud wind whistle/high pitched squealing noise just as the glass begins to come down. It's something to do with the aerodynamics of the window frame I believe because if you roll the window down a half inch or so and leave it there, it'll keep doing it. Of all the noise/rattle threads on this forum, I couldn't find anyone specifically talking about this. Above 70 MPH, the noise is atrocious as you roll the window down, enough that passengers ask what's wrong with the car.

Has anyone else experienced this?
 
My Porsche 981 has a wistle when the window is open or closed no accidents the car is in pristine condition, I don't let this small things bother me but that is just me. My Stinger has been dead quiet and solid.

you should take a video and post it here and/or show your dealer!
