Wind noise (solved)

[AV8R4AA]

I have been chasing a wind noise on my 4.6 for a decade.
Turned out the foam insulation was not adhered well.
The foam sheet was fair. I replaced both drivers door and passenger left
side rear. I used a hair dryer and got it softened and squish able.
Test drive at 80MPH the wind noise is minimal.

I didn't think a poor seal job on the foam panel would be a problem.
For those with a wind noise of undetermined location. Start with the
Door panel.

Sorry for the stupid question, but is this foam located inside the door panel, or is it the seal around the door? I have this same problem on the passenger side of my E53 after calling a locksmith a long time ago because my fob didn't work and my keyhole broke...

If the locksmith wedged the door frame to gain access, you probably have a bent upper door frame... it no longer sits tight against the door seal. Can be sorted at a panel shop.
