I have the bad winds too with the TC on. There is (was) a recall on the door seals for 3G body style. The originals had a wear point when the door hinged and the new ones had a "toughened up" spot where it contacted. I notice the wind noise to be worse after the campaign fix.
The upper door does flex causing the wind noise. But it does not take much to get it to stop- if I hold my left hand and grip the upper door and squeeze to the body, it stops with very little effort. Back in the old days of working on cars at a dealer ship, we would lower the door glass into the down position and manually adjust the door frame in by applying pressure to it. I am hesitant to do this on these newer (yes, I consider 2005 a new truck) because the frame may move too much and I do not want to "over distorts" it.
I have not tried adjusting the hinges (which it the correct way to do it over manual physical force.)
