Howdy Folks,
Recently I took my truck on a long distance trip, and thanks to the beautiful open road and some new, higher speed limits. I've discovered a significant wind noise issue coming from both my driver and passenger side doors.
It's only present above 115-120 KpH, and is quite high pitched which tells me that the seal is only just being pushed open from the force of air. I can almost get the noise to stop by pulling very very hard with the tips of my fingers on the top edge of the door, but this isn't ideal at highway speeds, or ever frankly.
The door seals otherwise look to be in great condition, no rips tears, and are solid in place.
I'm going to try a couple things, but I'm also open to other recommendations:
I'll be sure to document and take pictures when/if relevant for folks looking to fix this issue in the future.

I'm going to try a couple things, but I'm also open to other recommendations:
- Bending the upper frame of the door gently and incrementally towards the vehicle with the windows rolled down.
- Adjusting the adjusting the door latch on the body of the vehicle itself.
