    Ok, I have a 2011 TX Pro and I notice a whistling noise from my rear sliding window when I have my defrost or vents on. Whistling noise goes away when I turn off heat/ac or when I use my recerc button on. Fan speed at any position.

    I used my back slider once on Christmas Day and noticed this sound just after using it. It does close and lock no problems. Has anybody else here have this issue or have heard of it and or a fix.

    There is a cab air relief vent behind the rear seat. If that is covered/plugged/broken then the air had nowhere to go and could cause whistling as the pressure escaped out the rear window. Just my guess.
