    I also had MAJOR wind noise coming from that area. Discovered PO had cut off the rubber window gasket (aka "glass run") right next to tweeter panel, going down inside door panel. Replaced gasket, 100% fixed. Is your full gasket present?
    This is the new gasket, but entire 5" or so in front of the mirror was missing.
    Hope ya figger out those hinges.

    Upper Left: 89423 03934

    Lower Right: 89415 53142
    Lower Left: 89415 53152

    NOTE: The format of the 10-digit part numbers may appear as X-XXXXX-XXX-X instead of XXXXX XXXXX.

    Yes , I have the packaging from the hinges. The hinge that I replaced on the door last night has the following part number :8-94230392-4 and GM#94230392 . I opened the plastic pack that it was in,removed the hinge and stuffed the plastic packing into my pocket. Then I installed the hinge ,on the drivers side top. The hinge is shiny and hideous , this shall be remedied later.

    The wind noise is almost completely gone . At 70ish if a strong gust of wind pounds the car , I can here a slight hint of wind . I need to adjust the hinges a wee bit , as the alignment is a little off. I'm sure that after I adjust the door properly the hint of wind will go away .
    I just ordered the lower right hinge, to put on the bottom of my driver side door....

    My full gasket is present.


    Either the hinges on my VX are reversed ,or the order descriptions are screwy.
