Possible A-Pillar noise and water gathering between bottom of door seals

[BruceF]

I have a 2012 Explorer Base. Production build November 3, 2011.

Seems on a normal day the vehicle has no noise.

I own the vehicle for 8 days now.

This morning for the first time it was very windy since I own the vehicle.

I was hearing a strange noise located on the passenger side front door/windshield as I was driving 65 mph.

I am thinking it is the A-Pillar noise that everyone is talking about.

From past experience with a ford rep that is in my area, with his mentality he is just going to say it is the apperent sound of the vehicle. Do too so many others making these sounds.

Is there a documented TSB for this?

Also I have another issue.

It rained last night.

When I opened the door a large splash of water came out under the door.

Is there a documented TSB for this?
