Road wind noise 07 tahoe
Does anyone have the wind noise or road noise on their 07 tahoe?
I'm wondering if there is a recall or service bullitin on this.

I have no issue on our Tahoe, check the seal to make sure there is not any visible issues. you can put a dollar bill in between the door and the seal, shut the door and see if any place along the seal is easy to pull the billout. then you can put some puddy or something behind the seal to "build it up"

so If i find a spot where the dollar bill is easy to pull out then I should put puddy or silicon behind the door seal to build it up?
Im sure there is a spot becuase I have alot of wind noise. I may take it back to the dealer since I have a little warranty left but im going to try that tonight.

I do not recommend putting anything behind the seal. The truck is too new the do an improper fix. If it is under warranty let the dealer fix it correctly. My 07 does not have any wind noise.

07 Tahoe here and no wind noise, and agree with MDTAHOE take it in and even if its not covered its best to replace the seal in the long run rather then try and patch or repair the seal...

yes if under warranty get a new seal for free...but you can get specific puddy to put behind the seal that works perfectly. That is a better option vs spending $100+ on a new seal

Also I have not tried it but have heard via this forum that if you print out the GM Parts direct price and take it to your local dealership they will honor the price... however I highly recommend that you check their (your dealership) price first...it could be a wee bit less
