Does anyone else have this problem? I took it to my local dealership and had the service rep look at the problem, we have already replaced the back door weather strip (it has a broken plastic piece) and shifted the front and rear door a bit to line them up better and now I still have that sound. What should I do? I have already taken it back to them 3 times and still no solution.

buy the wind deflectors for the windows.... check on Mitsu's website, they arent expensive

Buying deflectors is not acceptable to me, not the price but the idea of having to buy add ons (looks ugly IMO) to fix a problem

I have it too. I had it since the day i bought it.. dealer tried aligning door better, helped a little not much.

they told me the best way to do it is go driving w/ a friend in the back seat, pass 65 or so, so the noise is there and have the friend move his hand over the edge of the front door seal from the back window, and over the back door seal from the front window, until the problem are is isolated.. then try relocating the wetherstripping around that are till it stops.

I've got the same problem in my OZ and I've had it since day one. I'm gonna try that ArmorAll suggestion and I'm planning on potentially getting the wind deflectors anyway, so perhaps it won't be an issue then.

I've just gotten used to it... i tend to drive w/ sunroof or windows open, so it drowns it out... take the open front door, put your knee against the inside of it, grab the top of the door frame with both hands and yank it towards you hard a couple of times.. that seals the door better, and it helped mine, but didnt eliminate it.

I doubt it - it's probably just an inconsistency in the weatherstripping on some Lancers/Evos/
