Anyone had any amounts of wind noise from the weatherstrip that meets the door from the a-pillar, it only does this on the highway nearest to the top corner of the door if I push the strip up the noise will stop but as soon as I let to it goes away the pins And bushings for the door don't seem worn any other ways of fixing it lol.

I know this sounds pretty savage but bear with me. The only way I have seen it done is get a 2x4, some rags, some tape, and a buddy. Roll the window all the way down and slide the 2x4 so that you can use it to leverage through the window between the door pannel and the door frame where the air leak is. Tape the rags to the 2x4 so you are not scuffing up your interior or paint. Have your buddy hold the door open while you gently tweak the door frame back into place so it seats the door seal properly. Take your time and just do a little bit at a time. Then take it out on the open road and see if it improved. Obviously if you have window vent visors the 2x4 wont work. In that case I guess you could always try having a buddy hold the door and tweaking it back by hand.

^^ Never thought about that. I have the same problem with my 01 Tahoe. Thinking about spraying it with sound deadener too cause I get a lot of road noise too...
