I'm experiencing wind noise on my Max when driving at around 40mph to highway speeds (70-80mph). Is there any fix for that??

The noise seems to come from the driver's side pillar..but I'm not sure if that's the place.

You may have done this already. That's all I could think of. My '96 did this for awhile. I rolled the window down on the driver door and bent the top part of the door in ever so slightly. You put your knee on the bottom section and pull in on the top section. Be EXTREMELY careful if you try this. I don't want you to mess up your door cause of me. Now my door closes much tighter against the car.

The first thing to do is determine the source of the sound. Equip yourself
with a 4-foot length of small-diameter rubber vacuum hose. Auto parts
stores usually sell this in bulk at US$0.50 per foot. Have an assistant
drive, leaving you free to search for the objectionable whistling sound.
Put one end of the hose in your ear and pass the other end all around the
periphery of each door. You will discover where the whistling is loudest.
There may be more than one area which requires attention.

After this road test is concluded, open the door(s) which exhibit a
whistling. Examine the weatherstrip in the identified "loud" locations.
If it has come away from the body metal, use weatherstrip cement to reattach
it. If it is securely in place, examine it for damage and apply whatever
remedy seems appropriate (see below).

You may be able to replace short segments with new weatherstrip purchased
from the dealer or a local auto upholstery and trim shop.

You may be able to bolster the existing weatherstrip by cementing a strip
of generic foam weatherstrip beside the factory rubber. You can buy
inexpensive generic material at a home improvement superstore (Home Depot,
etc.).

You may be able to build up small damaged areas of factory weatherstrip with
one or more layers of black silicone rubber RTV caulking.
