I would recommend starting with that upper corner, versus adjusting the hinges, striker or even adding the tubing to the weatherstripping.
If someone were tackling this issue themselves Start with #1:
1) Add tubing to the upper corner
2) Add tubing to the weatherstripping
3) Adjust striker
4) Adjust door on hinges
The only 100% real cure IMHO would be re-designed weatherstripping, either by Ford or aftermarket.

Nice Video on wind noise. My S/C is real quiet- I just checked the corner under the weatherstripping on the drivers door and I see Ford has put tubing in the corner just like your video. The tubing extended about 3" around the corner and then eneded. Aug/15 build. Stange that they wouldnt do that on the Crew Cab.

Bullit390 I saw your post from last year about wind noise and how you cured it. Would you explain what you mean when you said you added a 3" section to back corner of the door jamb. I am having a lot of wind noise in my 2012 250 and am trying to figure out how to fix it. Thank you.

The door seals have little slots that make inserting an additional backer tubing inside fairly easy.
If you have a door keypad look into adding a bezel to help seal that as well.

From the description of the video on YouTube: "Use latex or silicon tubing. 3/8th inch outer diameter with 1/16th inch wall thickness"
