Whistling Noise window / panoramic

[JAW_1979]

I have been experiencing for months a whistling noise when driving over 35mph when either the driver / passenger is cracked open and if the panoramic sunroof is vented or all 3 together it is coming from the passenger side and I cannot pinpoint the noise. the noise is not coming from the mirrors.

Same here. Mine sounds like I have the driver side window cracked. It's been discussed on here a few times. Some people say it has to do with the mirrors.

I’m having a whistling noise from the passenger air vent when I change the air to recirculate inside the cabin. Very noticeable at 60+ mph... dealer keeps giving me the run around saying they don’t hear anything when everyone that dudes in my truck notices it. Pretty embarrassing that a $60,000 vehicle makes that noise. It’s been to the dealer 3 times. Probably going to start talking about the lemon law with them. Definitely a leak in the cabin somewhere

I had the same issue at the upper left portion of the windshield. How I came to find out the problem though was kind of crazy. I had to have my windshield replaced bc of a serious crack from me being a dumb$$s. I was changing out wiper blades and lost hold of the drivers side wiper arm. The arm smacked the windshield and sent a crack all the way up. I have since learned to put a pad behind the wiper arm when changing out blades.

Anyway, after having the windshield replaced there developed a whistling noise coming from the top left near the drivers visor. It would begin at around 35 and get worse with speed. If I pushed on the windshield it would get louder. It turns out that the replacement windshield was defective and had to be replaced. The air was coming through between the seal and the glass. Our trucks do not use adhesive, they rely on a type of rubber seal that is installed with a special tool. If you push on the windshield while driving you should hear where its leaking. It whistles bc the air is going over the rubber just like if you held a piece of grass between your fingers and blew on it you would get the same type whistle.

I’m going to have to give that a try. Because it only happens when I recirculate the air which means air is getting pressured through something

Had an issue with wind noise when I first picked up the truck. Brought it to two dealers and they both couldnt find the issue and said it was normal. Luckily enough for me it was a simple fix. Narrowed my noise down to the moon roof. Went to check it out from the top to see how it was sealing and noticed a large gap in the front of the panel. Looks like the glass was misaligned from the factory. All that needs to be done to adjust the glass is to slightly raise the the glass to the tilt position, from there you can access 6 torque screws(3 on each side). All you have to do is loosen the screws, re-position the glass so that the gap is gone and re-tighten when in the correct position.
