Wind noise on E53 Cab

Hi, maybe a dumb question considering its a Cab after all, but I get a real wind noise at the area between the top and the drivers side window when driving 50 mph or more. It sounds like the window isn’t all the way up. I’ve had an Audi S5 and it was very quiet. This is my first Mercedes Cab so I’m asking if other people experience this? I trust you guys more than the service people telling me it’s normal.
Thanks

Never really noticed neither of these things on my E450 Cab. Same body as your car. I'd get the dealer to check it out.

I also have an E53 cabriolet and have not experienced either of these issues - I too would recommend a trip back to the dealer.

Both my rear seatbelts drive me nuts with the buffeting. I found that if I store the buckle above the seat and kind of tuck the belt to the outside of the seat it fixes it — until someone sits in the back or it just jarrs loose.

I havent heard any any wind noise from the top when it’s up though
