Excessive wind noise on 2008 F350...

[tonystrong]

Well, I finally got to pick up my new baby today. Black KR F350 SRW CC 6.4 PSD. I was so stoked to finally get her and drive it off the lot!

Until about 2 miles down the road when I hit highway speed. The passenger door doesn't seem do seal near the top of the door and the wind noise was absolutely awful. No noise at all from the driver side. After investigating, there is definitely a spot in the rubber seal that doesn't seam to compress around the top of the door as well as the driver side. At first, I thought it would just be the door seal but as I investigated further, the passenger door is visibly pulled out further from the cab than on the driver's side. Almost like the door is bent. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]

I've owned an '02, '04, '06 and now an '08 SuperDuty and only now have I ever encountered a problem like this. Anyone else with similar experience on the SD?

I would take it back to the dealer and have them look at it, probably just needs adjustment. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

tonystrong,
Hey look around the door and cab for white plastic shipping spacers. I pretty sure I have had this problem on an 05 and taking those spacers off solved the problem. They will be very noticable if they are there and can be pulled off by hand. As the other guy said there is also a good chance the door is out of adjustment.
Congradulations,
Marc

My '08 F350 has no wind leaks and cabin is much quieter than the my other SD's. Too bad you had a problem out of the chute. At least it's a real report from a real owner. Shim behind the leak with some weather strip temporarily until you can get to the dealer to have either adjust or put in a new gasket/weatherstrip set.
