Hi Charles,
I had wind noise on our 04 Allure too. Using the search on this board, I read all that I could read, and tried several things. The RV Dealer did addjust the door, as well as the door latch (the 2nd catch of the latch) to be very tight (so tight, we slam the door). This took care of 75% of our noise. The final 25%, was with weather stripping/molding (any hardware store, I think I used the 1/2" wide, by 7/16" thick along the top 1/3 of the door. I then used 1/2 by 3/16 for the next 1/3 of the door. I did nothing along the bottom 1/3 of the door. I placed the molding in the door jamb itself. Others have attached it to the door.
I think the drag on the door at speed, actually sucks the top of the door out a bit from the jamb. This extra molding, made a difference for us.
Best of luck,
Smitty

In our 2000 36' Magna, the fix was simply to go to Home Depot and buy replacement self-sticky insulation tape. We simply removed the old weatherstripping (which had deteriorated over time) with something from HD that looked almost identical to the original. Result: No more wind noise when driving.
Hope this helps

Our 96 Magna 36' had a terrible wind noise. Inspection found door sagging due to the hinge assemble broken at the top. Close inspection of the hinge showed the teflon spacers to be worn out. Replaced hinge and the door and frame seals. I haven't driven yet but it passed the dollar bill seal test. Will drive later this week. John
