When I go go over 80 my drivers side door feels like its being pulled open, air rushes into the car, there is horrible wind noise and it jerks the car over to the left pretty hard this is resolved by holding the door. Anyone have any idea on how to fix this.
Car is a 2000 SE coupe.

Don't go over 80? Does nothing at all happen at lower speeds?

Can you push your door open any when its closed or jerk it back and forth? Check the locks on the door...

That's the NHTSA-mandated speed-limiting device, since 75 is the maximum legal speed on any US or Canadian highway.
You can defeat this provision, by dong some 'tweaking' of the door itself to kinda 'bow' it inward a tad for better contact at the top of the window frame.
My guess is that a previous owner pulled the window frame outward a bit in order to break-in when keys were lost.
