Any details on what they did? I have both the "cracked window" noise at about 45+ and the "tea kettle" around 78 to 80 with a cross wind. Is there a TSB for either of these issues?

I have had this wind noise for a while. Just drove back from W Texas, about 12.5 hours. I listened to it or probably half the trip. Talk with service advisor today while they were replacing sway bar links. He is driving a Rebel for a demo and said he has heard the same thing. He pointed out to me (what he calls applicators). The two black pieces between the front and rear doors. He pointed out to me at the top edge they start spreading out which allows the wind to channel through the front panel and rear panel. He ordered the two for my drivers side. The passenger side was still well sealed.
I recorded it a couple of times and he said it was the same thing he is hearing.

One thing to note is the front windows are twice as thick as the rear ones. You can roll the window down and look at the top to see for yourself.

If you go through a car wash the sound difference is very apparent.

That being said, I also get the crosswind noise on the highway. Almost sounds like the wind is creating a pressure that is pushing or pulling on the window.

The front windows glass are thicker because they are Acoustic Glass and rear are just normal tinted windows glass.

Hi... i am experiencing the same issue, but the dealer said they can not do anything, because they cant verify the noise, once just happens when i am over than 60mph. I tried to show a video that i recorded and show the this forum reviews and they did not take as weel, sayig "they are FCA and do no consider videos os Forum as proof of problem", incompetent and lazy, in my opinion. Could you please help to find another way to have this issue corrected ?

Thanks
