Driving on highway on a windy day.

Awesome! I have a 2018 Tundra and it howled all the way through Nebraska and Wyoming!! I will for sure let them know about this forum and have them change my windshield seal! Thanks You

 

Good luck. Mine told me to get bent “it’s just the mirrors”

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

Mine did this for the first 5,000 miles or so. Then I guess the seals "wore in" or something and haven't had an issue since. Drove through SD with 45+ MPH winds and didn't make a peep. Used to howl like crazy at anything above 10 MPH.

 

WOW, thats got to be annoying!

 

I noticed my 17 doing it a couple of weeks ago for the first time, 30+ mph winds doing about 70 mph in the truck. It was definitely loud and annoying.

 

My '13 does it, and it has had the "new" flush moulding as pictured by SR5TRDTUNDRA for as long as I've owned it. Still howls like crazy in a crosswind or quartering headwind.

 

Really eh! Ever since I changed mine I’ve haven’t heard a sound on windy days on the highway.

 

Yep, unfortunately. Bought it used in Nov '15. Never encountered the noise until one windy day on my way to the coast. I've checked all sorts of things, including your original post here. So I checked, and my moulding looks just like the one you now have. Had the windshield replaced about a year ago, due to a crack, but it still does it. I'm sure they just reapplied the moulding that had been on it. I'm thinking about taking a leaf blower to it to see if I can isolate it. WTH, leaf blower is supposed to produce 100+ MPH wind, right? LOL... We'll see.

 

Man that’s sucks! I hope it works for you buddy. Good luck!!
That noise is unbearable

 

Well, I’m at the dealership after complaining about the same noise. I have a factory Toyota windshield which they said shouldn’t be the problem. They looked at the weatherstripping around the doors and after I told them that when I cracked the passenger window a smidge, the noise went away. So new weatherstripped for me. Wait and see the results and advise you all

 

The noise just showed up for me last night for the first time. Good to know that it most likely can be fixed - I'll have to check my weather stripping to see how it looks. It only happens at such high winds and certain direction that I doubt I'll fix it, but if it becomes more common now that it's started I'll start bugging the dealership for the better stripping.

 

I have a 2017 Tundra. The wind noise (howling) has been irritating for 1-1/2 years. Dealer notified, Toyota USA notified and Toyota Japan contacted. Was hung up on by Toyota USA. Toyota USA's only reply was 'dealer has to find and fix". Dealer heard it and advised "That's normal. They all do it. Toyotas aren't the worst". Long story short. New mirrors, antenna, windshield and have driven around with most of the front end of the truck taped up at some time or another. By accident found that if you lower the right passenger window a tiny amount, I mean as little as possible to unstress the frame, the howling stops. The window is lowered so little that there is no wind noise through the top of the window. If you hear wind, you lowered it too much. The quiet is deafening. I intend to disassemble the door and determine if a permanent stop can be installed to keep the window from closing all the way. Will advise.....

 

Welcome Bob

 

huh, interesting. mine did it for the first maybe 5k miles and then stopped. it only ever did it during high speed 70+ and high wind 35+ though.
very interested to see what you find out!

 

I have a '16 I bought new and it does this only when I'm doing 80 or more and there is a heavy crosswind. It has done this since new and only does it with a heavy crosswind.

 

Lol at all this BS, I said this was happening to me a year ago on my 2017..this has happened to me about 4x now. Only on the Freeway Driving in and out of town. Does Toyota fix this or not? Warranty?

 

Que paso Jay!!
Yes Toyota fixed mine under warranty!

 

What is the fix?

 

Look at post #9. That’s what worked for me!

 

What’s up bros.. all good?? Well, I’m going to have to bring my shit in and tell them What’s the deal. Cause that shit is annoying as FCk..

 

Tacoma does the same thing. It's a weather stripping issue around the door seal on the tacoma

 

Ya bro! Freaking annoying! Haven’t heard shit since my fix!

 

For me it was the moulding around my windshield. Got that replaced with different moulding and noise is gone ever since!

 

Noticed a nice draft coming across the backseat (crewmax) while the family and I were making our way across Kansas today. Seems to be entering more around the sides and not the top of the rear window. Noticed it did this on a long road trip before but chalked it up to cross winds. Just trying to determine if anyone else has experienced this or not. Now that we have a little one sitting back there, i don't like the idea of a <30 degree breeze blowing across the seat...tried the search function and this was the closest thread i could find.

 

Leave windows up and savor the aroma, after all it's yours.

 

I’m resurrecting this thread as I have a ‘13 Sequoia and my windshield’s moulding is doing the same exact thing. Almost everytime we drive South from Salt Lake to Vegas, we get heavy crosswinds and it sounds like whales are dying!
So I took my vehicle in today to one of the local Toyota dealerships and mentioned that I’ve read that the moulding needs to be swapped out and the advisor looked at me like I had 2 heads. They wanted to charge me $125 for a diagnosis fee and I told them I already know what the problem is, I just need the moulding swapped out. She said that they could do this but they would just need the part number to order it in. So here we are and I’m hoping that one of you might happen to have an old receipt showing what the part number is on this new “flat” moulding. Fingers crossed!

 

Welcome!
dealer should have a part number for the Flat moulding. You would think eh.

 

Shit that would drive me fuckin nuts

 

Should have asked to borrow her computer to look it up.
