Wind noise from Passager side door

First, I want to thank everyone for their posts. I have read and saved a lot of money by reading what others have done to fix it.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
Now, I have a question that I need help with. I have a 00, Expedition, EB, 4.6L. When I am driving the highway and there is a cross wind or just very windy out, I have an extremely loud wind noise coming from the passenger side door. It sounds like the window is cracked opened. But, it is not. The door seems to be aligned, no wear on striker. Door is tight, no play and the seals seem to be tight.<o></o>
<o></o>
Any thoughts?<o></o>
<o></o>
This is driving me crazy, since I live in OK and it is always windy here. It is so bad; I cannot use my phone, because I can’t hear. <o></o>
<o></o>
Thanks<o></o>
John<o></o>

Roll your window down and make sure the window frame rubber seal is tight against the frame, particularly in the top rear corner. You may need to wrestle it a bit to put it back tightly in the channel. They tend to pull down and will result in wind noise.

And if that don't cure it you might try some silicone gel or spray, on a rag and wipe the rubber weatherstripping around the doors. It keeps them pliable and stops a lot of wind noise
