Default Cabin Noise/whistling

Hey guys I just bought a 2k Silverado ECSB and the only things wrong with it is that there is a whistle coming from the back windows at 45MPH+. Anyone have this problem/solution? And I need a **** for the stock CD player. The one for the volume/ on and off. TIA, boot

weather stripping is probably catching, or their is a whole in it. Could be a 2nd rear window, last one could have been broke out or something. Probably didnt seal it right. thats my guess, had that problem with my winshield when I put a new one in.

I've heard of similiar problems with the EC's. I think it's due to the weather stripping. Also, people have complained about a loud "wooping" sound, kinda like a helicopter, when at highway speeds with the windows are open. There may be a TSB about it. Check over at the 99+ truck forums at www.chevytalk.org. They'll help you out for sure.

No the truck is clean as far as I can tell (three different sources). Do the latches ware out? Mine don't really lock, they just kinda fold in but don't snap in or anything. I mean they seem to stay in place just curious is all. I have not however seen any leaking back there from recent rain so I think it's just a small whistle.

Wind Noise from Body Side Quarter Window (Replace Body Side Quarter Window Assembly)
1999-2000 Chevrolet and GMC C/K Extended Cab Pickup Models (Silverado and Sierra)

Built Prior to February 1, 2000

This bulletin is being revised to add the 2000 model year, remove service procedures, and change the part numbers. Please discard Corporate Bulletin Number 99-08-48-001 (Section 08 -- Body and Accessories).

Condition
Some customers may comment on wind noise coming from either of the body side quarter windows while driving with the quarter windows closed. The wind noise may be more noticeable at speeds over 56 km/h (35 mph).

Cause
An insufficient seal of the window frame to the body or an improper window latch length may cause this condition.

Correction




A new body side quarter window kit is available to correct this condition. This window kit includes the window frame and glass, three frame centering screws that reinforce the sealing of the window frame to the body, and an instruction sheet. The window frame also features a reinforcement latch tab to improve latch efforts and function.

Replace the applicable body side quarter window on affected vehicles. Use the appropriate part number listed below.

Refer to the applicable Service Manual for quarter window removal and additional installation procedures. Also refer to the instruction sheet provided with the window kit for installation information.
