[BMWCSRegistry] Whistling/windy windows

[Art Wegweiser]

Bill,
Your advice is correct but I shudder about removing any of those 
vinyl covered cardboard door panels.
Screws will be getting stripped after having been removed who knows 
how many times over decades. Especially the clips used to pop in the 
panel to the door and the bolts (actually large screws) holding in 
the door pull/arm rest.
If my suggested solution doesn't work then either tolerate the noise 
or have at it and be really careful.
