what i do to find air leaks is fill the truck with smoke from a smoke machine and open and close the rear hatch...the pressure will force the smoke out of the spot where the air is comming in...

only does it when im driving tho, otherwise its completely water/air tight

well if the air is getting in there im sure it will show a leak with the smoke...if you want to take a drive one day...drive up to my shop...ill bring my smoke machine...

im not explaining it right. its seals fine. but what happens it that when i try to put the window up while on the like say the parkway, it goes up but doesnt go into the seal correctly. if i slow down to like 55, itll go into the seal, but over 60 it doesnt go in correctly. any other time its perfectly fine. only the drivers window too.

yeah??? maybe the track is loose inside the door?

could be, just curious if that was maybe a common s10 problem.
