Cold weather wind noise!!!

[BigBlue7]

What rubber pipe insulation did you use? How long is each section? And what diameter? At my Menards foam ones are 6’ long. A microfiber cloth jammed it right above the rearview mirror (where the 2 panels meet) did stop the whistling for me.

The pipe insulation specs are in this thread. I didn’t do any of the other things that they did

Same issue, but rear driver side. Whistling happens when very cold and windy. Not bothersome enough for me to mess with it.

Thank you. Thought it was something different. Thank you.

Hi there! Would you send us a private message with your VIN and dealership name and location? I’d like to look into this concern on my end.  

Hey there, my wife's Bronco started doing this exact thing as well on the driver side, and it's gotten worse, and more frequent. It happens in one of two situations - wind coming from the passenger side of the vehicle, or headwind coming from the front of the vehicle. Greater than 12-15mph of wind (in addition to speed above 50mph) triggers it so far.

As someone else stated, it looks like the gasket for the window near the top edge of the window doesn't really stay sealed. I have recorded video/audio of this.

Hers is a 2023 4 door Badlands (non-sas). My 2024 wildtrak also just did this on the driverside for the first time last week.

Doesn't seem like Ford is going to be answering.

I have the exact same issue and live in a cold climate area of UT. I haven't heard it from the passenger side, but it is VERY noticeable by my left ear. I cannot determine if it is the back of the drivers window or the front of the passenger window. I have not taken it to my dealership as of yet but plan to do so on the next service visit.

Has anyone with this problem gone to their dealership yet? I haven't had a chance, yet, but was curious what response people were getting. Apparently, the Ford account here gone silent on us.

I get the loud wind noise in winter whenever it is cold here....but we hardly get below 22 degrees at night. Usually 32-40 during the day. But my noise is coming from my hardtop. No windows or seals. No cold air coming from anywhere inside. Almost like the hardtop panels or seals shrink in cold. But no cold air coming in. Have had my windshield replaced twice in 3 years through safe light due to cracks. Same wind noise with all three windsheilds. Never hear this sound the other three seasons of the year.

Ford isn't doing a thing about the window noises...it's 67 here today and I get to listen to the window's howl on both sides...there has to be an adjustment that moves the glass closer to the seal...I'm find with not have a full-frame door, but this sound is awful
