I cant give you any advice on the first problem, but the second problem is the notorious BAJA WIND NOISE, we all pretty much have this noise unless its like an 06 with no miles on it. its brought up all the time, Ive heard people try to fix it but it always comes back, its something about the way the windows/doors dont have the upper frame around the window, so the seal is only made by the windows themselves, a quick fix that seems to make it a lil better is rolling the windows all the way up while the door is open,
and then closing the door. as long as you dont roll down the windows after that, it seems like the seal is better and it doesnt make as much noise. this works for like trips and such when its hot out and you know youll be only using the A/C. Im sure everyone else will agree with me, its annoying and there aint much we Baja owners can do. If you search around a little bit you should be able to find more on that subject tho!
