Default Outside air coming in from window switch gap?

Anyone experienced this? It's getting cold where I am now, I am constantly getting air blowing up to my steering wheel from the window switch gap, especially at highway speed.

I just picked up my New TC Saturday from the dealership. I noticed this when I had the window cracked that the air was coming up through the switches. I closed the window and it seemed to go away. I thought it was just air circulating, so I tried it again, then closed the window and could still feel the air. I was going to ask about this when I go back to the dealership to get my springs, spoiler and lights installed.

Yup, I've had it since day one as well. But like sstcrew mentioned, it's only really noticeable when the window is open/cracked. Otherwise I never feel it.

Window is open..? No no it's coming from the gaps of the switch, nothing to do with the window is opened or closed. I only have problems when outside is cold, it freezes my hand while driving.

I know it sounds ridiculous but that is how it is. The breeze generally only comes through the switches when the window is cracked. If you are getting it all the time, even when the windows are closed, then that is a problem.
