Passenger Front Window Whistles

[jayson]

Not sure if I'm crazy or really did help but someone here mentioned adjusting the climate control suppresses the noise. Well I tried messing with it as the noise was happening yesterday -- sadly, I don't recall the procedure I did, nor can I confirm that it wasn't related to something else (wind dying down as an example). I'll have to keep testing this hypothesis...

But I am very curious if anyone else can suppress it by adjusting the HVAC?

2-door MIC top here, add me to the list of people with this problem. Seems like it is coming from the top of the passenger window best I can tell.

Just started a week or two ago (December in Ohio) and it has been quite windy. Notice it mostly at highway speeds but also at much lower speeds depending on the wind direction.

I tried resetting the window and also playing with the recirculation, neither helped.

I got my Bronco in February 2022. This was NOT an issue in 2022, 2023, or early 2024 when it was cold.

2-door MIC here too, my passenger window whistles too, cold months. But, I believe it's because when I turn on the heat and turn the fan up above half, the window starts to whistle. Even when I'm at a stop light. Turn the fan down and the whistling stops. Kind of just accept it, thinking I'll address it in the spring. Well, into my third winter, at it's still whistling.

I'm late to this thread but my passenger window just started this recently. I've cleaned the seals. Applied silicone lubricant to them as well. I've tried the reset multiple times. It's loud and only on that specific window. If I crack it then the sound is gone.

Today while driving I looked over and could see a line maybe 1/4" down from the top where it appears the window is not going up as high as it did in the past. I don't know if there is a manual adjustment for this but I'm thinking about pulling the door off and bringing it in the house to take it apart and investigate. I'm certain this is the issue now that I see that previous set line on the glass. I also do a lot of off road driving and it rattles so much when the window is down. I'm assuming something in the door is loose. I'm at 65k miles so I have no warranty. If i find something, I'll post it here for future issues for others.

Same issue, anyone actually find a fix? is there a manual adjustment?

+1 with this issue, right before Christmas I was driving highway speed (70-75mph) and it got especially loud when I was hit with strong crosswinds. Front passenger side, 4 door, towards the back of the window. I didn't notice it myself but my poor mom that was sitting there and suffers from misophonia as it is was about to lose her mind! I haven't done anything yet nor had anyone look at the truck but will likely add this to the list the next time I go in for service.
