    Default 2006 cab wind noise

    It started with the right door at speed I got a lot of wind noise. It went away now the drivers door is doing the same. I have cleaned and Armor Alled the seals. No folds or crushing I can notice. Doors close tight but the noise gets worse with speed.


    Maybe I'm just getting old and too picky, but it didn't do this before. 2006 GMC extended cab. Door latch adjustment maybe? only 95k miles on her.

    Is it a whistle, hum or vibration? What speed?

    Hadn't tried to put it to music. Its just wind rushing that wasn't there before. starts about 35/40 and up. Almost like having the window open an inch but it's closed.

    Extended cabs tend to be noisy. In a moment of stupidity/weakness years back I had my 2007 up at lose your license type speed and it's scary loud. Sounds like the suicide doors are ready to pop.

    You must have tweaked it, stock puter cuts fuel at 92 or 94.

    Mine comes and goes. I started on drivers side again today. I guess its time to clean and oil the seals again.

    I think I figured it out. The inner seal at the top of the door gets bumped and drops a little. Not enough to be noticed. Pressed the seal back up and noise is gone. Maybe a little seal glue would prevent this but make it tough for the guy that wants to replace it.
