I believe I found the issue. Appears the window is loose as well as the door molding.

Is this the pillar problem others have discussed?

I made a video but I'm unsure if it will upload...androids are not the best at sharing videos etc.

Wow, that’s horrible. Bet it sounds like a V-1 rocket behind you. Should be a relatively simple fix for the dealer.

I am somewhat relieved to have discovered it ..was driving me insane.
Hopefully it can be fixed easily.

At least you found it. When I asked if the window was closed I was imagining it leaking air at the top, not flapping in the wind at the bottom.

Default Resolution.

Can you tell me how this was resolved? I had zero noise for about 4000M and recently the same exact noise you describe appeared, upon reviewing my car and the photo attached this must be the issue as my rig has the same, When i push on the window from the inside i can make it gap quite far with minimal pressure.

please let me know how this was resolved as the dealer is booked for months with the service appointments.

A few days ago, I had a constant wind noise in my ear coming from the passenger driver side window. If I turn the radio volume up to about 30 it drowned it out but if I turn the volume down and tried to make a phone call ,all I could hear was the wind in my ear as if I was in a jeep with no top on it. Today ,the same noise except for now there's a whistling coming from the window as well. I contacted the dealer and I was advised they could see me in two weeks .. I am hoping some of you guys have a solution to this.

Thk you

According to my service advisor, this is becoming a known issue. The truck was in the shop for a week and they replaced the window and reglued the molding. I picked it up and on the drive home ..>SAME NOISE! Needless to say, I was livid! I took it back to LR and they replaced the window again and installed new molding. A month later and no issues. SA told me that the window is on backorder now, so this is a significant issue now.
