2011 Itasca Ellipse Window Frame Crackling Noise

I have major crackling and popping noise coming from the drivers side window when driving at interstate speeds with side wind conditions. I think source is the rear vertical frame member. Unit is under warranty so I have on my punch list for dealership to address. Anyone have similar experience?

There is a couple other threads adressing this issue.
Turned out to be weep hole covers.

Mine was the window vibrating at the point where the slide windows come together. I thought it was the mirror and had the dealer change it out. On a recent trip, I found I could slide a piece of cardboard between the windows and stop the noise. My dealer just changed out the entire drivers window assembly for me. I will be traveling later in April to see if that actually remedied the problem.

I took my RV into Lazydays and had them address this item as a warranty issue. They took a test drive and confirmed noise for themselves. Their corrective action was to remove window frame and install a foam seal on the frame. The foam seal improved the situation but has not totally eliminated the popping noise. I called Lazydays and they are going to readdress when I take it in later this year.
Let me know if you have any better success.

I thought my noise was caused by the window but it turned out to be the slide gasket rubbing on the wall.
