Default Part #'s for Improved door seals?

Absolutely cannot handle the wind noise anymore. Regularly cruise on the highway up here in Alberta at 80+mph. I am deaf on my right side so the noise is really terrible coming in 1 ear from the drivers side. Anyways before I trade my nice 07 hemi in for a GM product does someone have the part #'s for the new door seals>? The dealers up here are in denial and say there is no improved version and no one else has complained of door noise etc etc. Any help appreciated

There are 2 TSB's, but they are older, may not apply to your year:

Adjust your door striker plate more towards the cab so when the door is latched, it is pulled in closer to the cab. May be a little harder to close. It didnt cure my wind noise but it helped. I have an 02 and I need the new seals at some point.

Abbotsford BC here - my new to me '07 2500 QC was almost on par for being as quiet on the highway in cruise as my 2008 BMW 528 right up until i put new BFG AT's on it.

Adjust your doors and make sure you have no open holes in your firewall.

That was one of the first things my mechanic friend did for me when I first got my 02. It's a quick, easy, and free fix (provided you have the tools) It does need a good solid pull (or push) to get it to latch fully but nothing too hard to do. (Also depends on how far in you adjust the striker plate) I think maybe once or twice a month I have to close it again because it didn't latch the first time.
Hopefully that's all you need to do to solve the wind noise

The same story here at the dealership, never heard of it, doesn't exist. My 2011 chevy work truck has no wind noise at all when I drive my 2007 Dodge the wind is really annoyng. I adjusted the doors inward, helped a lot but didn't eliminate the noise. I used some 3/8" foam from and foil tape from home depot to use a backing behind the black door seals it worked but looks like hell when the doors are open.
