2020 110. Put a ladder on her a couple weeks ago and have been experiencing loud whistling starting at about 50mph. I removed every other item off my roof rack with no solution. Then I began systematically taping off the gaps and seams of the ladder itself to try to isolate the source. Not luck either. Very annoying.
Yesterday, reading through some YouTube comments, I saw someone with the same issue. He had isolated the source. On the rear driver’s (LH) door there is a panel behind the window. It turns out some of the first units are missing several clips that attach the panel to the door. The result is a loose panel that, when paired with the new wind pattern from the ladder, whistles as air passes through the flapping material.
I am currently at my dealer to have them attempt to fix it. I will post a picture and give an update when I have more info. Hoping for a fix to a very aggravating problem.

Fixed the whistling and the loose panel. Same root cause. The dealer removed the panel, added new clips, and Resealed. Everything is back to normal now. So, check your panel. Thanks.
