Ok, I have a 2004 chevy silverado, I experienced the same thing with my 2001 when I put a bug deflector on it and I had to put double sided 3m tape between the glass and the weather stripping. So now I just put a bug deflector on the 2004 and I hear the same noise, I thought gm changed this design. Has anyone experienced this with new silverados?

What does the noise sound like and where do you hear it? My '02 Silverado makes a noise at highway speeds that sounds like a flapping piece of paper. It sounds to me like it's coming from the defroster vent area. I noticed the other day that the plastic cowl vent panel is a little loose where it lays against the outside of the w/s. Maybe that's what is making the noise? I'll have to secure it and re-check.

jaslo- You'll need to do the 3M tape thing again. My '03 did the same thing when I put my bug deflector on. The tape fixed everything.

 

Doozer- It should work for you too. Flapping paper is exactly what the sound is. I'd try the 3M tape up the side of the windshield if I were you. That should fix your problem.

 

It's real easy. Just peel back the door seal up to the top of the windshield. Take the torx screws out of the molding piece. Pull gently as it is stuck on (sort of). Clean with alcohol and apply the 3M tape. Be sure to clean the windshield too with alcohol where the tape will be. Replace the molding being sure to stick it real well. Replace the screws and the door seal. Test drive.

 

Good luck to you guys! :banghead:

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
