Wind noise

OK, I put some packing tape across where the trim is at the top of the cab and ran it back about 8 inches and down several inches. I also placed some silicone under the trim and the noise stopped COMPLETELY even on a trip to Colorado. This is an air induced harmonic where the air gets under the trim and it vibrates. It happens to me around 70+ MPH and gets worse the faster I go, if there is a cross wind at a "perfect" angle its a constant whistle that will drive you crazy as you cant even have a conversation. I am going to have my body shop replace the trim and put some put some silicone or some other type of adhesive to stabilize this trim (It does move when you press on it and I can certainly see where air going under it would cause it to vibrate perfectly) I will do this in the next month or so and let everyone know what happens with the truck.

BTW

I just had the truck in the shop for other work and had them remove the tape and clean it up, the NOISE CAME BACK on my first trip down the highway...
