This is a two door 2010 Punto Grande (not Evo). Noticed quite a bit of wind noise from the drivers window area. I could not feel anything so started with the usual tape up of the door which made a slight improvement, Then taped the window on the outside and this got me somewhere but still not acceptable. Looked at the hinge mounting and I could see light from the front wing area which I plugged. Also noticed the front door was not closing evenly on point B on the photo which I adjusted and put a thin draught excluder. Finally no noise.

In summary the noise solution was in three parts: First, detach and re-glue the exterior rubber window trim at point A. Secondly, Block the gap in the hinge area at point C. Thirdly, adjust the door and rubber at point B. Just in case I silicon lubed all the rubbers - what a difference. Hope this helps someone on here, I certainly have learnt a lot from others contributions
