I gave it a try. The ones around the windshield and top of the R1T did not make any difference. I wouldn't bother with those.

Now, the one on the driver's window made a world of difference. I drive on the highway on a weekly basis at 75 mph and the noise was really bothersome. It was almost as if the window was opened. After adding the one to the driver side window it reduced the noise significantly. It is now tolerable and I don't have to blast the audio.

One thing I did notice is that when rolling up the driver's side window, it goes straight up. Now on the driver's side as it gets to the closing position it goes up and in. I don't know if that is what is contributing to the noise.

Haven't tested anything yet, but I installed a few rubber gaskets on panel gaps
the top of the roof on the front side
Inside the drivers door
Inside drivers window
On side of windshield on a pillar

I did not do anything around windshield. Didn't look like that was an issue for me. But will do that next

My wind issues are:
Sounds like window is slightly open
Wind noise on rood

I'll report back with findings

I put duct tape over the front of the glass on top and over the triangle piece on passenger side and it pretty much eliminated all wind noise except for wind there are large crosswind gusts--which we have been having a lot lately in atlanta area.

I've had them look at the wind noise issue 3 times now and they have never fixed it. So i tried the duct tape myself and it's now dead obvious where the noise is coming from on mine: passenger triangle glass piece and the front part of the glass roof on the passenger side is above the painted part that is between the top glass and the windshield. vin in the 3000s
can you show a picture of the glass roof being higher than the painted part?

I've attached a few photos from my truck before they replaced the top facial piece. The passenger side top piece sat below the roof glass.

Hope this helps clarify

One of my piano black A pillars wasn’t fully seated, and was causing a plethora of wind noise. After properly seating, the noise was gone.

This definitely helped my wind noise. Really amazed the difference. Still not perfect, but the roof noise is considerably better. Window noise isn't perfect, but has improved quite a bit.

100% would recommend
