Whistling from the frameless windows.
There is a whistle at higher speeds only from my front 2 windows the driver and passenger. I assume it is because it is the frameless window concept.
Is there any way I can test it or fix this problem?

It's coming from the windows and not fixable really... Possibly adjusting the alignment of the window track. 02-07 Imprezas are notorious for this condition.

i didnt relize the windows was a problem. even at infineon when i hti the strip or track i get close to 100+ i never heard the whistle before.
maybe over time the weather stripping get old. i alwayd garage my car so i dont get beat down in the sun. mayeb that has somethign to do with it.
i will stick to wagons being teh better

My driver side window started whistling like a month and a half ago, it picks up noise around 30mph. All I have to do is roll the window down a hair and then back up and it stops. It's kind of annoying, but ultimately not that big of a deal I guess.

i always had that issue when I purchased the WRX brand new. It's just a bad design with the frameless window I presume. But it's true if you open the window and reclose it, it should "realign" the window to the rubber. This noise even happens just rolling the window down and this squeaky sound happens near the side view mirrors. I believe it just needs some moisture or armor all. Very evident on dry days or if your parked under the sun for awhile.
