Corvette Water Leak and Wind Noise Solutions.  Got it and basically it says things have got to touch not to leak.  Actually a  very good book but for my issue it is going to be a lot of tweaking sounds like.  I was hoping for the location of the magic wand to just wave over the car and all would be well. 

But thanks for the heads up.  And all the other suggestions as well.

All in all its better to have a corvette that whistles than no corvette at allSmile.

The rear sideglass weatherstrips can appear to be in good condition i.e. no chipping or gouging, and still be a problem. They tend to harden in the compressed state. I just replaced mine with strips from Ecklers. It made a big difference in my car. Prior to replacing them mine looked good but had no rebound left in them. The new ones are much softer and have reduced the wind noise significantly. A small window adjustment should finalize the project.
Good Luck,
Scott

I will take another look at mine and some other things as described in the wind noise book.  Thanks for the input.

Everything you wanted to know about fixing a window but where afraid to ask!!  And do!.. Sounds like a person could get killed or a serious ouchy with this repair.  But it told me exactly what I needed to know, Thanks much.
