Hi All.
I get wind noise on driver side. I know it's not from driver side mirror. I am thinking it's from from the top where the roof rail meets top. Anyone has had that ? If yes where was it from and what was the fix? I have had since purchase in 2020 and Ford has not been able to find where it comes in from.

The roof wind screen closes properly...It's only on the Driver side...

I think I have the same noise as you. I hear it when I’m driving on the highway. I haven’t been able to find a cause for it yet.

I could be wrong but when I had that annoying noise it was the undershield making noise.

I had a 2020 ST with the same issue. I just got rid of mine. Sold it for 28k bought a Toyota HighLander Platinum and Love it. I always felt that the wind noise was from the roof rail. I felt that there was something missing. I love my ST did a lot to it but couldn't deal with all the recalls and the wind noise any more. I was a Ford Guy since 1998.

A lot of people have said the same thing only to find it is coming from under the car. Good luck on the next ride.
