Wind noise caused by door misalignment?

[TinoSabatony]

I picked up a Gen1 R1T in early December and am overall loving it. However, there has been a pretty significant wind noise coming from the top front corner of the passenger door area from the beginning and it is starting to bother me. I know there are a ton of threads about the common causes and fixes for windnoise issues, and I tried some of the solutions called out in them without a substantial change. During these efforts I noticed that the passenger door sits proud of the A-pillar by almost a 1/4” and I’m pretty confident that is the cause. It’s kind of hard to see in the picture. The driver door is fully behind the profile of the A-pillar and there is no wind noise problem on that side.

Has anyone else had a door alignment issue like this and was it able to be corrected by the SC? I’ve seen plenty of posts about people getting door misalignments fixed but I wasn’t sure about this type. I’m about 3 hours from my closest SC so it’s a big commitment if I want to take it in to have it looked at. Not to mention it’s well past the 1 year adjustment warranty so I’d probably be paying for it myself…

The door strike is adjustable on most vehicles. Mark the current position of the strike with tape and also measure the offset in a convenient spot on the closed door to see how much it needs to be moved. Loosen the screws and slide the strike in that much. Tighten and test.

If it's only the window frame that's out then that's more complex.
Adjusting a car window frame angle, particularly to fix sealing issues (wind noise/leaks), involves adjusting the window regulator, tracks, or physically bending the door frame. Common methods include loosening regulator bolts to tilt the glass in/out or adjusting stop bolts to change the maximum height and pitch of the window, especially on frameless doors.
