windshield popping noise by stobes01

I have a 2007 Sierra 1500 Crew VortecMax with a bug shield. I am experiencing a popping noise in the bottom right corner of the windshield. I only hear it when it is really windy or when I am going +65 mph. Someone had told me that GM didn't wind tunnel test their trucks with bug shields on them, that is why I am hearing the noise. Has anyone ever heard of this???? THANK YOU.

Research the archives.
This "feature" was addressed a couple years (or more) ago on trucks with bug shields.
Seems that they applied tape or glue to the edge of the windshield to stop the turbulence induced noise.
Anyone else?

My 2000 GMC Sierra makes that same noise under same circumstances and I have no bug shield. It REALLY irritates me when i'm driving. Can somebody look into the "putting tape or glue on corner of the winshield" a little deeper?

GM had a service bulletin on this. by obyone

I don't have a subscription so I can't post the TSB but the TSB number is as follows:
 
GM TSB#04-08-48-003 Windsheild Reseal
 
You can find more info on it at www.alldatadiy.com if you want to pay for a subscription. Being that you're out of warranty by far it may or may not be worth your while. What is says is for the dealer to reseal both sides of the windshield with a GM approved adhesive.
 
At this point I'd buy windshield adhesive at checkers for $5 and go from there. Lift up the rubber flap, add the adhesive and tape it down till the adhesive cures. Good luck.

heartmaker. I had a 2004 z71 the noise your hearing is the front yoke on drive shaft.some of the yokes were made out of a different materal. some of the yokes were put on 2002 & up. There was some bullintens put out on them.stating the problem.there was some replaced in early years.The dealer may want to tell you he doesn't know any thing about it.I had all kinds of problems with that chev.there is also a noise when the tran. shifts from 2nd. to 3rd. & from 3 rd. to 2 nd.They won't fix that.I sold the z71 & bought a new tundra good truck hope i don't have any trouble with it.

Since this is a chevy/gmc topic I won't bore you with details on your Tundra. However, I will give you this link:
 
Toyota Tundra
 
Good luck on this one now.

I've got a '99 Trooper and installed a bug shield on the hood when it was new. The popping started. I removed the bug shield, and voila, the noise stopped except very rarely, when I am driving in a very strong cross wind that hits the windshield at an oblique angle.
 
I have read elsewhere that the wind turbulence lifts the trim that holds the windshield in place. If you secure the trim with adhesive, it goes away.
 
A friend with a F-350 had the same thing happen at any speed over 45 mph. We finally found that the rubber molding around the windshield was loose along the top of the windshield. The wind created a vacuum as it travels over the roof, lifting the rubber strip and making it vibrate. When stopped, you couldn't see anything was wrong. He glued it down, the noise completely disappeared.
 
Hope this helps.

04 chevy 2500 hd. Strange noise coming from rear of truck by rusticwood

It's a buzzing sound. I thought it was the fuel pump and replaced it yesterday but while driving it that night the same noise is still there. I realize that it could be the new fuel pump making the same sounds but with my luck that's probably not it.
 
What else is back there that could be making the noise. It does it while moving or standing still so it's not the rear end. It doesn't do it all the time either.
 
Thoughts?
