Passenger side window wind noise is louder than driver side

[flip]

Visually inspect door gap, door flush with quarter panel and front door, window engaged in top seal, etc. Look at the rear cap to make sure it's not sitting proud compared to the other side. Should be flush or just slightly below the trim in front of it. These sit out too far and they'll really catch the wind.

Mine does this too. I hear it when I'm driving. When I'm in the front passenger seat, I don't get the same noise from the driver side.

Drives me nuts. Took it to the dealer and of course they're of no help.

Well I’m gonna go to dealer Thursday I’ll let you know if they help me!

If it's any consolation my 2021 softtop is noisier on passenger side than on driver's. Maybe it has nothing g to do with the top but the odd right side mirror making extra noise (just kidding but why right mirror could not be a mirror image of left is a whole other dead horse)

There's that rubber triangle boot at the front corner of the door / window. On my passenger side, it doesn't quite sit flush, and if you have the passenger wiggle it around, I can get the wind noise to change, like a lot.

I've heard of people sticking matchbooks in there and stuff to jam it to get it to line up right. I've also heard of people getting them replaced under warranty at the dealer. It hasn't bothered me enough to do anything to mine, but I think mine is relatively mild and only really can notice it at 70MPH +

My 2 door is fairly quiet except for what you folks are describing. My neighbor has a 2 door built about a month after mine and it is exactly the same, no noise (to speak of) until you reach 60mph then it gets louder from there. I have reset the windows and added insulation in the channel between the hard to panel and frame, may have helped a bit but not sure.
