Hey all,

I'm driving a '18 GT and I've noticed lately that whenever I go over 40-50+ mph (and louder with higher speeds), I hear a high-pitched wind howl that seems to be coming from the driver's B-pillar side (around the middle). It's quite irritating and on long drives, I walk out of the car with a ringing left ear.

The dealership tried replacing the weatherstrip but that didn't make a difference.

Did anyone encounter similar issues and have other possible fixes?

Thanks in advance!
 
I'd try folding in your mirrors just to see if that stops it.
 
Check to see if you had something knock into / hit your mirror. I had this issue, fortunately no real damage but significant wind noise!
I found the precise location of the cause through trial and error by applying tape around edges of mirror and side of door panel.
The cause ended up being the gasket under the mirror (at door)...the gasket was slightly out of alignment.
Slight adjustment was made by removing the inside door panel to access the mirror mounting screws.
Good as new!
