Excessive road noise from passenger side
Anybody getting this like the window or door sounds like it's open a crack? I noticed it but I never said anything to the dealer. When they road tested my car for a completely other matter (dash rattle which they fixed) the shop foreman OFFERED to fix it for me saying the Cobalts are missing some sound deadening material right under the rear passenger floor board which causes the excessive noise. So for those who are experiencing the same issue, ask your dealer to fix it. I think there's a TSB on this but I'm not sure. 
dumb as dealers

Yup. We get it. Wife complains of this all the time. I am having the hinge re-adjusted for a firmer fit and hopefully this resolves the problem. I also noticed that when washing the car more water penetrates on that side than on the driver side.

I also have the problem with excessive road noise coming from the passanger side of the car like the door isn't closed all the way. The rattle that is coming from the passenger side is most likely from the glove box, it rattles like freakin crazy and it worse when you run the ac. I took a rag and stuck it between the left side of the glove box and the dash and the rattle stopped.
