    any one else living in the cold weather world noticing that there is a bothersome breeze coming in from the door handle on the drivers side? do I have to live with this? I didnt expect this from Toyota, after owning quite a few other Toyotas . and we really havent started to experience the really cold weather yet. Brrrrrrr:eek:

    It's under warranty. Take it back to the dealer. Sounds like some insulation is not in place.

    This seems to be a very common occurrence in this car, and is much more noticeable when the drivers window is cracked. From earlier posts on this, it seems to be pretty common.

    As it does not seem to happen when my windows are all rolled up, but only when cracked, or opened, I assume it is a design flaw, instead of a unique flaw.
