Has anyone had problems with there front windows making annoying sound like wind noise coming in? It seems like the only time it happens is when there is a cross wind while driving around 70 and up. i drove the other day on highway going about 90 and got no noise at all but there was no crosswind. Scheduled an appointment for this at local dealership next week I am curious to see what it is

I have. I was able to catch on video. I will see what service dept. Saus, but doubt they will be able to fix or duplicate.

I have but I think the air is passing by the door seal rather than the window. It happened to me with high cross winds

I did read somewhere that it might be the sideview mirrors that need to be sealed because there could air coming in through there

Mine used to be really bad in cross winds. Then I noticed that my passenger side view mirror was loose and wasn't sealing correctly. The dealer replaced the whole mirror assembly, now it's not as bad, but still occurs if the cross wind hits it just right. I just live with it. Life is too short to stress out about it. It is what it is.

Kind of off topic but, frankly, I don't think these trucks are any quieter inside than any other vehicles that I've owned. I know a lot of reviews state how "eerily quiet" they are..I don't know, I think it's about the same as any other truck I've ever been in. I drove two RAMS before I bought mine, and I also had one as a rental, and they were all the same. Not bad, but not luxury car quiet by any means. The ANC works great when the truck is not in motion. Start driving down the highway, and I hear wind noise, not leaking - just noise. It used to drive me crazy, now I just ignore it and turn the radio up.

I agree with moosem, I just live with it. Also agree on just how quiet the trucks aren’t, my 15 GMC was just as quiet and it didn’t have ANC (but had plenty of other issues that I don’t have now!). Love my RAM but it isn’t perfect nor do I expect it to be.

Totally agree that it’s not any more quiet than most vehicles on the road. I’d say it’s average. Like moosem said, not worth stressing over. It is what it is so just turn up the radio and enjoy the ride.
