Default 70mph whistle

Does anyone else get whistle at around 70mph. It sounds like it comming from the front windshield, and yes all the windows are all the way up. I'm hoping that since I just got the truck 3 weeks ago and it's been so cold here(-5 - 20F) that the window hasn't had a chance to seal properly, what do think?

Had the same thing on my 09 ........they tried adjusting the door, didn't work, so they fitted a new door seal, now it's much better, I only get a slight whistle over 70 in certain crosswinds

I hear you all loud and clear. Mine sounds like it comes from the pasenger side windshield. It only does it in a strong headwind and certain cross winds like dava2500 has.

Any chance you have a radio antenna other than OEM? If so, remove it, and check the sound again.

Nope .........stock antenna ..........it's definately the door seal, as mine has improved dramatically since the seal was fitted ........

Check the door adjustment, mine was a little loose and whistled.
I readjusted the door to close slightly tighter, noise hasnt been back since.

Just a thought,
check the front plastic inner fender wheel well for fitment, wind can actually get past them and howel up into the front door area.
Not many fastners holding them in there, and they are VERY thin plastic. Anyhow, just an idea or more to check out.

Thanks guys, I have to take it in next week to get my rusty back bumper replaced and I will tell the shop manager to look at the door seals or to adjust door fitment.
