I've got a 1999 subaru impreza (the ones with no door frame - just the window against a rubber) and when Im driving there is a whistling/breeze type noise coming in from the rubber somewhere along the window. Is there anyway I can stop this/get a new rubber fixed! Thanks

Could be many reasons but u could move the striker in a few mm and it will close the door tighter and it may go away.

There's also an adjustment to pull the window in tighter against the body. You'll need to remove the trim from the inside to access it.

Common problem and often caused by the mirror, may pay to check that out first!

More common in Subaru as they go faster than the other jappa's

I had that prob on a mitsi. It was the trim around the windscreen but it sounded like it was the door. try to wriggle everything in a metre radious lol

common problem caused by air pressure irregularities inside the vehicle. Hold your breath and try not to fart. if that fails, buy a car that can go faster than the wind (or a subaru), perhaps a RENAULT!

Do a few simple tests. ie/ try cracking open the window a little when driving and see if the noise changes to indicate it's the window. Try pulling on the passenger door handle towards you when driving to see if it is getting in there instead. Sometimes it's the plastic window deflectors or even the wind noise being from the external mirrors. If none of the above, get a passenger to move their hand around the area to see if they can feel the wind getting through. I know it's all basic stuff, but give it a go and good luck.
