Maybe he's really tall and took the front seat out and drives from the back?

i have the SAME problem! i think my rear passenger door doesnt shut right, and to get the front door to close i have to slam it pretty good. and i STILL get terrible wind noise. is this like a common problem?

Sometimes when my G/F closes her door it doesnt shut all the way. I can hear the road noise. Just takes a little grunt

My truck did that before I sold it. It was the back drivers door. I loosened the striker on located on the floor of the truck and pushed it in (towards the passenger side of the truck) as hard as I could while I tightened it with the star wrench. It worked for about a week before it started rattling over bumps again. Drove me CRAZY so I bought a new truck

Mine did it...I fixed mine by wrapping duct tape around the latch thing on the door frame. I discovered the latch in the door was not latching tight enough around the catch, but there's no adjustments to be made to the latch in the door nor the catch on the door frame. IDK if you have the exact same situation but the duct tape fixed mine perfectly and has been rattle free for quite some time now.
