Default Wind noise

Anyone else here have noticeable wind noise on the driver side door? I had 2014 that I traded for my 2015 and it seemed to be quieter. Just curious.

There's quite a few threads on it. Search through and you'll see how people are fixing it. I was able to almost completely eliminate mine, except when I'm driving into the wind on a really windy day.

Awesome! I feel like most people are able to eliminate 95% of the wind noise without having to take it in to the dealership.

Why do some trucks suffer from this and others do not? Is it the weatherstripping installation?

I have a feeling it's a 2015 thing.

Are the doors misaligned on all these trucks with wind noise? Or do they look fine alignment wise but the weatherstripping is not installed correctly? Something must be different.

Cheaper weatherstripping is my guess.

It seems like it's different on each truck. I've chased down a few wind noises on customer vehicles, some are easy some aren't. I'm just glad mine has nothing. much quieter than any 2014 or older model. I'm happy with it!
