I am on a quest to reduce the wind noise on my 2023 XLT. From the factory, the truck does not have any kind of rubber moldings around the windshield and the back window. Besides the added wind noise, the truck looks unfinished. I am sure this is another Ford cost saving feature. Anyone addressed this issue with a DIY solution? I am considering taking it to a glass shop and let them add some aftermarket moldings.
Thanks for weighing in.

There is no visible gasket around the rear window. The windshield and rear window are installed using adhesive without a gasket. Yours looks like my window.
