The noise I'm describing only happens at speed when I hit a bump. I have wind noise, but nothing unbearable. It's to be expected driving a brick through the wind. Though I'd be curious to hear your video.

I will try to upload a video I took so you can hear the noise it makes.

I have the same issue..it is only at highway speeds and I only notice drivers window. Dealership couldn't reproduce (surprise). Not a windshield issue ( I have had this in other cars before). I agree that it seems be a "flexing" issue. The door is separating from the door seal and you get a quick air entry. Very quick, not horrible, but annoying.

mine moves around too. You can feel the trucks cab and door flex independently of one another, and without much force I can push the top of the door away from the cab when it's shut and allow air to really come in. Mine goes in Thursday for the third time. I would really like to get the door issues resolved and move on. I honestly have my doubts at this point.

Just wait till people start wrecking the damn things, a body shop couldn't align my doors "brand new" in 2-days with 3-techs on it. What in the world are they going to do when they start having tweaked ones to deal with? I have owned quite a few new trucks from various manufactures with never having a door shutting or sealing issue. Seems like a pretty basic function. I am still waiting from anyone to find out what is the world is the cause of this all. Damn that Denali I test drove was quiet. I just couldn't get over the Column shifter and key turned ignition. Felt archaic...quiet...but archaic

Exactly. I stuck my fingers while driving in the gap between door and cab. You can feel major movement (that coincides with the seal break wind noise) between the door and cab.

I wonder if there is an adjustment that pulls the door tighter to cab without making the door looked to sucked in? Or replacing with a thicker seal?

Ah-ha. I am not crazy about my door sound. Mine just started whistling today at 35-mph. Now if I can make it do it for the dealer tomorrow...and it wasn't my turbos
