Some Ram 1500 owners report experiencing extreme wind noise from the passenger front door, which can stem from several potential causes. Commonly, wind noise is noted around the wheel well area on the passenger side of the cabin. Additionally, improper sealing of the windshield may lead to wind noise at speeds above 60 mph. Some owners have found that reseating the rubber gaskets and seals around the door frames can help resolve these concerns, as gaps from improperly seated seals contribute to noise issues. A distinct wind whistle from the front right passenger window at speeds of 35 mph and above may indicate problems with the window seal or alignment, which can sometimes be addressed by reseating the window seal on the center door post. For extended cab models, misalignment of the rear doors can prevent the front doors from fully seating, necessitating adjustments to the upper and lower latches of the back door. Furthermore, some owners have reported an inconsistent flutter noise between the center dash and passenger side at high speeds, which may not be affected by climate control system settings. These issues underscore the need for thorough checks of seals, gaskets, window alignment, and door latches to effectively address wind noise concerns in the Ram 1500.
