Silverado 2024, Highway Wind Noise at A Pillar

I just bought a new 2024 RST.  I have excessive wind noise at 50mph and up, coming from the top of the driver side A pillar.  Is fairly constant but then is more gusty sounding when it’s breezy out.  In addition, the driver door doesn’t seem to stop much sound.  When I pass cars, it sounds like the window is cracked open or the door seals are not doing their job…. 
I’ve been to the dealership 4 or 5 times.  All they do is have different technicians drive the truck and they say that it’s all normal wind noise for this type of truck.

I love the truck, looks great, rides and drives great, but the wind noise is killing me!  I’m at my end… if anyone knows of a fix or can make a suggestion, I’m all ears!

I have a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500 crew cab and have the same complaint as described by ScottyO. Have only had it for about 8 weeks and have not taken back to the dealer because I expect the same response as described.

There is a tech bulletin out for this. I have same truck makes same wind noise as you are describing.  It has something to do with plastic collars or some bolts creating wind noise.

Still have not resolved the wind noise on my 2024 RST. I’ve test driven other new 2024 RSTs and Trail Bosses, and they all have a very similar wind noise.  I’ve have the front driver door seal replaced by my dealership, no improvement. I had the dealership check the service bulletin about the firewall, and apparently that issue was not the case with my truck.  
I’ve pretty much given up on fixing the wind noise issue.  The fact that I heard the same issue on other new 2024 Silverados, I believe it is an inherent manufacturing defect, related to how the wind hits the A-pillar or windshield area. I have a suspicion that GM reduced the thickness and or quality of the actual windshield glass.  Probably to reduce vehicle weight for better gas mileage and or save manufacturing costs.  
 

Anyone else find a solution?

Open the door, sit facing out and pull it back against your knees then grab top of door frame (window up) and pull towards you a wee bit at a time. I seen a body tech do that once for door wind noise, worked.

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
