My 2000 T&C LE does same thing. 5-star dealer tech could not "hear" the noise and wind whistling thru the gap at highway speed when we took it back second time. Of course they didn't test drive it when we were there with them. I am guessing it has to do with the A/C or heater blower going and pressurizing the inside while air flow past the vehicle at highway speed causing low pressure outside. Thus, the door tends to push outwards at weakest points.

They adjusted my doors soon after we bought it off the lot. This worked for a while. It hasn't returned to the point it is obnoxious. We have 69,000 on it now.

In other words, it is a design, not manufacturing, problem IMHO (as an engineer).
