I just wanted to share a short article about the wind noise a friend of mine was hearing in his cabin. He hasn't been the only one to complain about such noise as I've met a couple other owners who have also complained about same issue too. Personally I haven't had any wind noise issue with my truck but I was able to help him get his sorted out.
Like many, the bulk of the noise was coming from the triangle area of the passenger side door. Looking externally, it all looked fine, and identical to the other side, and the noise didn't exist when he first got his truck delivered.
TLDR; It was the trim pieces around the triangle window, but the window itself is solid and sealed. They will replace the trim piece with better tape, so this fix was temporary but very effective.
Here is the trim piece that was causing the issue for him, we noticed it was ever so slightly unseated from the rubber gaskets, and then when we pulled slightly the whole piece came out...
Even better, you can see there is only one TINY piece of adhesive tape on this piece, which really makes zero sense...
So after reporting the issue to Rivian, and not being able to wait for them to fix it before his trip next week... We were able to put a temporary fix in place, and I can report that it works wonderfully.
I hope this helps others resolve their issues as well. Note that ANY of the trim pieces on any side could be loose and they will also cause the issue, this is why I also taped down the top part as it was slightly loose as well.
