I have a kind of rusting wind noise coming from the top rear corner of the door - right near my head and right ear... It seems to be the door seal has flattened a bit and now when the body flexes the door moves just enough that I can hear the door seal rubbing slightly, making a very annoying rustling sound. Has anyone else had this? Did a new door seal rubber fix this?

You might also want to check if the top of the door/window frame has pushed out a bit. I've noticed this on several Prados. Easy enough if with some gentle force.Originally posted by fridayman View Post[B]Steve[/B]

Visually the door looks fine from the outside, but we're talking about a mm or 2, so it is possible the door has pushed out. I've tried winding the window down and then pulling the door back in at the top corner, but I'm not sure how hard I can pull on it before I create a bigger problem.Originally posted by krypto View Post95 3.0 Camp Car, 150 V6 Daily Driver[SIZE=4]

I'm not sure if its the same sound, or same issue, however I also had an annoying sound in my ear. I could start hearing it around 70-80 km/h and got a little louder the faster I went. I was certain it was the door seal at first however for me it was the door's weather-shield in the end.
There's small vertical section at the rear of the shield that has a piece of double sided tape holding it to the door's paintwork. The tape had split in to two pieces and I could lift the plastic shield from the paint work slightly. I put some clear packing tape on the shield to stick it down properly to the paintwork and it instantly fixed the issue - I was doing this on the side of the highway. This was a few weeks ago and the tape is still holding well. I just need to pull my finger out and get a small length of thin black double sided tape to fix it properly. My passenger door's shield at the rear has also started to come away.
That's assuming you have weather-shields
Hope that helps.Comment

fridayman Did you get to the bottom of this? Just got a second hand 2014 150 series and it’s doing the same thing.Comment
