I know that I can't be the only one that has a leaking door seal allowing wind noise in my 2021 Silverado RST 3.0 Duramax Crew Cab 4WD. I tried searching this forum but didn't find anything. I searched the internet and don't see my issue either.

 

I have had both front door gaskets replaced twice and it still hasn't fixed the wind noise in the cab. I know they're leaking because I have driven down a dusty road and you can see where the dust entered between the seals.

 

I have had two different dealers change out the seals. I know that I'm not the only one because my dealer told me that they have worked on others and some are fixed afterward and some are worse. I just had them changed today for the second time and it's as bad as it was or worse. It's hard to tell because it's very windy outside today. The rear doors don't seem to leak.

 

When the wind is calm outside, I can't hear it leaking but if I drive in a crosswind then it really leaks bad.

 

I don't know what to do from here but I'm still not satisfied. I hate it too because this little pickup is everything I want; great ride, looks good, all the comfort that I want, fantastic fuel mileage, and shifts great with the 10 speed.

 

Makes me want to pull a Thelma and Louise at the closest cliff.

I have this issue on my 17. The problem with mine is the frame of the door around the window is inset of the front pillar. I believe there was a tsb... In this tsb, the fix was to put something between the door and the cab (window rolled down) and flex it to the appropriate shape 😬 At the time I decided I didn't trust anyone enough to do this, and now I can't hear it over the exhaust so it doesn't matter. 

 

Anyways, I'd recommend checking out the alignment. Seals wont matter if the door isn't where its supposed to be.

I have the same issue with my truck and I'm extremely mad about this. Sounds like a train whistle right beside my ear.

    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
    • Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
