    In have an air leak at the drivers door. Seems to be from the area where the window frame joins the bottom of the door. So far I haven't been able to tell if it's from the window frame area or from below that area. I can't feel air coming through anywhere but it is noisy at speeds above 40mph or so.

    I had this problem on a different truck and solved it by lowering the window and blocking the door, then pushing on the forward part of the window frame at the top. Anyone have ideas how to pin point the problem area? (I should have tried that before posting this question, but have not yet) Thanks

    Have exactly the same issue on my 2023 Taco. Unable to really locate where the noise comes from. Any help appreciated; the noise is just irritating.

    Check behind the interior side mirror trim - the little triangle on the door by the A-pillar, it pops right off. There are a couple unused holes there. Slap some blue tape on and replace to see if that's the culprit (it was on my truck after doing door seals and window rubber). If the tape fixes it, ride till it peels off and then use some Sugru for a permanent but removable fix.
