    Finally found a video of what I've been experiencing, anything past about 60 mph and I get a wind sound like the windows are slightly cracked. Anyone found a fix for the issue on this video? The comments make it sound like nothing fixed it.

    I've tried the weather stripping around the door frame but it didn't work. Granted I think it might've been too small (was about 1/3" compared to 1/2" that people usually use)

    Best way I can describe it, is if someone was blowing through a straw at my face.

    You can try blue painters tape around suspect areas to narrow down your search. Obviously tape the door areas you might suspect.
    Once you pinpoint the area you’ll be better able to apply a fix.

    I have this same problem. I took mine to the dealer and they said it’s the door seals so they replaced them under warranty. My wife went and picked up my truck and said she didn’t notice anything on the drive home. Wouldn’t you know it the next time I drove on the highway there it was. Took it back to the dealer and this time they said it was normal. It doesn’t leak water so I guess I’m good.

    Scrubbed some tires, and knocked a dent out.
    Yeh, you can feel the air/temp difference coming from the door when driving. Noticed part of the seal spread apart lower on the pillar. Obviously they designed it that way for a reason, but I already suspect thats a failure point eventually and would be real interested to see if thats where your noise is coming from

    I put a little bit of double sided tape on the part of the seal that actually sits on the window where it comes up and touches. That seems to have helped a little bit. Tomorrow my thicker weather stripping comes in, I'll post if it makes it any better as well.
