There is a TSB about this. Go to the dealer.
It involves adjustment or replacement of the gasket.

Well along with getting the brakes fixed, the dealer replaced the outer weatherstripping that runs at the top of the door. The foreman said the doors can not be adjusted, just bent in a little. I thought I read in the shop manual they can be adjusted via the hinges. It helped the wind noise some. I would say it's a 30% improvement. I still hear wind at 65mph+. The two 2000's Expys I had never had this problem.

The dealer replaced our drivers door mirror and that cut off the window being cracked open noise, this is good!
Depending on the outside wind speed and the direction of travel, we still get some slight wind noise, but this truck is big and it is going to block alot of wind as it moves down the highway.
Overall I am completly satisifyed now, no more open window noise coming from the drivers door!

I notice on east to west freeways it's much worse than north to south. When the wind it coming at you, it's the worst.
The other thing is the rubber around the windshield on the sides sticks out too far in my opinion. Most cars have the rubber surround as flat as possible.

What type of brake work did you have to have done?
My dealer has two mirrors and a driver side weatherstripping on order for my 07 Expy EL for the wind noise issue.
Just recently, I have noticed a bad brake squeal. It happens as I am stopping right before I come to a complete stop. I am going to have them look at it when I take it in.
Thanks.
