Anyone else notice this as a possible cause to the drivers side wind noise?

I encourage everyone to take a close look at how poorly the window gaskets are seated against the glass. There are large gaps which allow wind noise.

 

I'm the same way...my driver-side door is difficult to close. But I don't hear excessive wind noise so perhaps it's not the door seal.

 

I'm not sure that's the issue, as cracking the window doesn't change the sound. The sound only goes away when the noise of the wind coming through the window drowns it out. In my experience dealing with hoopties for years in my youth, lowering the window a few millimeters is usually enough to change any kind of wind noise. Could be different in this case, but doesn't seem likely.

 

I taped different areas between rest stops on a recent road trip.
The biggest difference was when I taped along the window seal.
I then took pieces off to try and isolate it more, but could not pinpoint any specific area. It almost sounds like it comes from both the rear upper corner and the front at the mirror.

 

Thx, I'll try this next time.

I haven't tried to tape the window, I kept taping where door frame meets truck frame..

 

Same things happens with my car. I have air that comes through the door speakers. I was thinking there was going to be something wrong with the door seal or something but looking at it there was nothing wrong with the seal but then I noticed between the fender and where the door meet there's a another seal right there that's pretty big seal and it was just loose in there so I think that is my problem I haven't tried to fix it yet though. Makes sense why there would be air coming through especially at faster speeds

 

TRDJon youtube. He has many videos showing his journey with trying to get window noise diagnosed. Most recent video explains Toyota aware and has been narrowed down to door latch adjustment plus rubber door seal. He added a strip of rubber seal b/w seal and door (creating a little more pressure against door when closed) with success.
Not sure this is the same noise you are experiencing but good to follow his diagnostic journey incase "his" noise starts with yours.

 

Did anyone else not have any noise during the summer and now that it's routinely under 60°, the noise is back?

Mine has it, still has noise. Although it doesn't seem to be seated against the door very well.

 

I saw another post where the problem for a few people there was their windshield gasket oddly enough.

 

I get HVAC whistle but it's only with the blower on, mine is definitely around the window, at least judging by the noise volume when moving my head around the area. Also that post is about a 2005 Tacoma.

 

Mine seems to be intermittent…didn’t hear it in misty drizzle rain. Didn’t hear it after getting the e-brake ecm reflash…maybe the dealer fixed it and didn’t tell me (doubtful).

 

I don’t think I should have to add extra tubing in a brand new $80,000 truck. This is a bunch of BS and yes, I’m on board with everyone who says it keeps getting worse as time goes on. I have 3000 miles on mine. I love it, but it is a Pain to drive on the highway with all the wind noise. Something needs to be fixed for this issue.

 

I don't have the issue but has anyone tried to track the whistle with a smoke generator?

 

Gl, first visit to dealer I was approved for new seals

2nd visit, master tech said can't duplicate customer complaints

Gonna go in for a 3rd time and now add in headlight issue, passenger armrest issue, stressline crack forming on my seat panel

 

My 2024 has the same issue,so no….. it’s still an issue

 

The sound is coming from the upper corner of the seal inside the truck. If you're sitting in the driver seat, the seal that is at the upper corner by your head. If you get some sandpaper and 3M double sided tape (or something that's extreme) and sand down the seal and prep the surfaces, you can eliminate majority of the wind noise. This helped mine to mostly eliminate it.

 

Same here, I can just push that seal corner with my finger and noise stops completely

 

I have noticed more than usual dirt/dust build up INSIDE of lower door seals.(Not window seals) I have also noticed much dust inside the vehicle on radio and odometer windows as well as all interior windows. I rarely drive with my windows down at all! Only 2 ways this dust is accumulating inside the vehicle, shoe dirt or the door seal. And yes slightly more noise/wind emmits from the door area. Imo its the door seal.
