WIND NOISE PROBLEM SOLVED! Thanks to all who responded with suggestions! The dealer located the cause of the noise which turned out to be air infiltration around the exterior door handle assembly, which they replaced. After installing the new parts, the noise is gone. The folks at Lexus of Portland really deserve a thumbs up for their determination in making sure this problem was solved.

I'm new to the forum and have an '07 GX470 that makes an excessive amount of wind noise (sounds like a plastic bag flapping in the wind) from the front passenger side. I read a similar post from 2005 in which most indicated their GX470's were quiet in this respect. The vehicle is now in the shop for the 2nd time to address this issue. The 1st time they replaced the outside door window trim piece on the rear side of the passenger door (supposedly they have a tsb on this), but it did not help. This time they replaced all the rubber door seals on the passenger door and have called me to say it didn't help. My question is have any other owners of later model GX470's experienced this? The noise from the passenger side is more noticeable to the driver than that generated on the driver's side. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! I want to add that my Lexus dealer is being very responsive to this problem and is working hard to find a solution. Just wanted to see if anyone can provide insight from their experience.
