I had the same problem with the door on my truck, I fixed it by adjusting the door ketch or the Hook. Just lossen the screws and move it towards the seat a little at a time. Close your door, take a drive and see if it happens again, if it does try again.

13k on my '07 now, don't have either one of those problems (door or dash). Could the noise you are referring to be buffeting? Try rolling down another window and see if it stops the noise. If that is what it is it is normal and even documented in the owners manual.

the sound you hear is reverberation from the air when you have all4 windows down. i drove a newer cutlass that did the same thing only WAY worse. i would be surprised if all owners dont experience the same problem. no i dont have a tonneau cover.anyone else ??

RE: That new car smell is gone
LOL, I've had my wife for 8 years now. Now that she's kinda broken in I have noticed certain things also. Here are my experiences.
When the mouth is above 2 WPM I start thinking about my truck. It's not that I've noticed it myself, but I was told so, er screamed at a few times for it. At low speeds she starts getting winded or out of breath and a loud wheezing noise starts to sound. There is no high speed. sometimes her eyes look blank when I am talking to her so I don't know if she is understanding what I am saying.
LOL, my truck is doing great though, even though I think I did fry my alternator the other day playing in mud puddles. I will change that out soon though.
I will not say anything about the new girlfriend smell to her, but I kinda like it. All of this just kidding.
I agree about the new car smell being just glue and not being any good for you at all, If I ever buy a brand new vehicle again, I will get it cleaned up very good just to get rid of that smell.

Ive had my dodge for 6 months now. now that its kinda broken in i have notice certain things. Has anyone experience any of these things?
1 When the engine is at a specific RPM there is rattling noise that comes from the passenger side dash and the drivers side door panal
2 At high speeds or high winds the driver side door will open up just enough to let air out (it whistles). in otherwords it does not seal properly. one day it opened up so much i could see sky.
3 The headlights dont always turn of the first time. i have to turn the **** twice for them to go off or press the button on the remote.

2 Mine Did They Same Thing - Same With My Buddies 07'. They Replaced The Door Trim On Both Our Aplications
3 Sounds Like You Have A Relay That Fails To Engage, Or The Switch Itself Fails To Connect The Circuit. Both of Which Would Be Covered Under Warranty.
