Angry 2015 F-150 Problems

Just purchased a 2015 F-150 Platiunum and already having issues. Major whistling noise coming from the windshield area. Took it to dealer and they drove and agreed noise was awful. They replaced the windshield and it did not correct the problem. I had reservations about purchasing the first generation of this truck because I've heard of all of the body alignment issues, aluminum issues etc... Has anyone else experience this severe very annoying whistling issue?

I had a strange noise with mine but I have only herd it on one trip heading east on the interstate. Got worse when I passed another vehicle or got a gust of wind that you could feel. On the way back west the noise was gone. I'm thinking mine had something to do with air movement around the front of the truck.

No issues here, by far the quietest truck by far.

I just noticed what sounds like a vibration coming from my dash....down where the windshield meets the dash. Seems like it only does it at lower speeds

Observe the gaps and moldings on the front and side of the truck. There is probably something not quite right that's causing it. When you think you may have found it, cover it with some duct take or something and drive. If the noise goes away or significantly changes then you've found it. Then report back to us. It's obviously not a normal characteristic of the vehicle.

That doesn't look so much like an alignment issue as perhaps a bolt slipped on the latching mechanism?
