Wind noise after replacing front speakers + tweeters
Hello again everyone its been a long time. Hope everything is doing well. I need some help. I finally replaced my 10-year-old coaxial speakers with components yesterday. First of all, it was a huge difference in sound and if you're looking for front speakers go for components for sure.
After doing a road test I found out there is now a wind noise that starts at 65mph on both passenger and driver side window/door.
After doing some more tests I found that the issue seems to be the sail panel (aka tweeter pod panel). For when the wind noise starts and I press my hand on the panel and the noise goes away. After looking at it even closer I noticed there is a gap between the sail panel and the seal on the door. It's not noticeable until I put the door panel on so I tried reinstalling the door panel and seeing if I can get a flush fit, however, every time after I put the door panel back on the gap remains.
I've ordered new door clips and a set of these for both doors. Before I go down this rabbit hole I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if anyone has resolved it:

Hi beezee thanks for the response. i only see two pointed tips and those are definitely intact. the pointed tip is under the tiny rubber pocket, however, the pocket is cracked and has a couple of holes in it.
The panel attaches and looks fine when its only by itself, only when the door panel is bolted on that there is a little opening.

My issue has now been resolved. I did a combination of things:
1. Install all new clips for both doors.
2. Install new sail panel seal as mentioned here:
3. Reset window motor position
4. When setting the door panel on the window rails I started near the outer edge of the door instead of starting at the sail panel. That may I made sure the outside got most of the weight during installation and that sail panel side would just clip into place.
