Hello Members!
Coming to you all for your help with an issue. I just picked up my Explorer on 10/24. The car had about 200 miles on it when I purchased it. The day I test drove it on the highway it was windy, and noticed some noise from the A-pillar area where the driver's mirror meets the door. Did not think anything of it due to weather. After having the vehicle now for over a week the noise it there every time I get above 50mph. The sound is a consistent wind noise, no whistle. My first thought was a bad seal and allowing air in. I have tried folding in the driver's mirror, and the noise is still present. I have tried pressing on the A-pillar section where the noise is coming from an no difference. All of the weather seal's seem well, none that are flattened in that section. I have read about the cowl cover and am going to see if that might help. I wanted to reach out and see if anyone has any other suggestions that could be causing the noise. I came from a 2011 GC Overland and love the Explorer so far. I'm hoping this is a simple and quick fix. Thanks everyone!
