My 2005 F350 has this issue. The truck had been idle for almost a year. This past weekend, I had to drive the F350 because my 1997 F250 has some fuel/electrical issue. I noticed the wind noise as I was driving at highway speeds to my friends house in Boone, NC. It seemed to get worst as the day proceeded.

Hopefully, I can find the source of the problem with the advice of this thread!

 

I put up with this for a year. It would only act up at highway speed with a strong headwing gust. Had it in to the dealer 5 times, but they could never recreate it until the last time (was windy out). They replaced shared weather strip between doors & windshield, taped everywhere, sealed moon roof ... all no help. FINALLY replaced windshield seal!!! Problem fixed for a year now!

 

My 08 did the same thing at highway speeds with a strong head wind, Its the wind lifting the gasket around the whindshield. I took it to the local auto glass place and he fixed it. $60-70 bucks

 

I am so glad I found this older post. This is exactly what was wrong with my truck, same side even. Talk about an annoying sound. Bringing current for others in case they have this same issue. Was getting ready for a long trip, and wanted to solve this. For now, just used some silicone seal on the loose seal. When I get back I may order these parts and just replace them more permanently than just the nylon push pins.

 

I have the same thing in my 2009, funny thing I rode in the back seat driver side in a 2013 and when the windows were up and ac on I could hear a whistle from the driver side rear door from the window to door seal if the driver rolled the window down it was gone, all widows up it was really noticeable going 10 mph thru the rv park I was in. it was very annoying even at that speed, I found myself trying to find the leak while riding in the back. I could narrow it down to the upper weatherstrip on the middle top of the drivers side rear door above the window.

One of the reasons I got rid of my 06 gmc was for "wind noise" problems.

 

How did you reinstall the auxiliary door seal? Did you get new nylon screws? Thanks for any details

 

HI Lori Williams. Welcome. I just wanted to let you know you are replying to a thread that is nearly 3 years old. Not anything wrong with it, just letting you know.

 

To further update with new info...This is a good thread even if its old as I'm sure this problem is new to some. Keep in mind when you have the windshield replaced make real sure the glass technician knows how to properly install that secondary seal. The newbie that did the glass on my 11 installed it opposite to the way the factory did it. So the seal sat proud of the windshield plastic border. I mentioned it to him but he thought it was correct. Sure enough, the wind got under it just as I knew it would. Called them back and said please send a seasoned tech. Said tech took one look and laughed and said this isn't the first 250/350 he's been called back on after the hack newbie. Newbie broke the 2 piece tray under the wipers too. The seal should sit under the windshield plastic so headwinds don't get under it...duh. I got new secondary gaskets and both plastic trays under the wipers replaced free due to the damage the newbie caused to all of it. This seasoned was also well versed on the headwind noise subject of this thread. Seems Ford has had problems with the glass supplier regarding this plastic border which comes installed with the Ford glass.

KingJL...great troubleshooting. You must have some six sigma training. Can you post a picture of the offensive 5/8" hole and plastic "reed" piece? A visual is worth 1000 words.

 

oh my god...I am so glad I found this thread. I have a 2014 F250 with the exact same issue. It's very here and there, not consistent at all. Bigger issue with crosswind.

I have to drive from so cal to Vegas in two days and need to try to fix it before I go. That'll be the longest drive of my life...

 

For those of you that have or had this issue, is this the sound and location of the noise?

 

Dang...that sounded like fingernails across the chalkboard! Yikes. Mine was not like that. Mine was more of a high-pitched whistle and seemed to come from the lower center of the windshield. I fixed mine though...I traded it in!!

 

Yes, thats the "kazoo" sound. The gasket attached to the glass at the glass factory is loose and the wind is getting under it. Liken it to putting a blade of grass between your thumbs and blowing on it when you were a kid.
A good glass shop can find the leak (lack of adhesive between the glass and plastic gasket) and fix it.
