The issue is with the front doors. I just went on a quick roadtrip between So. Cal and Las Vegas. Whenever I'd do more than 80 I'd get that horrendous squeal- just like in the YouTube video posted above. What I noticed was if I put my elbow on the driver's door and had my arm at "12 o'clock" (parallel with the driver's side window) and had my fingertips touching right between the metal frame at the top of the driver's door and the rubber trim that's mounted on the car- I could feel the entire top half of the door vibrate. The noise was caused as wind would pass between the top of the door and the rubber. The faster I went, the more the top of the door vibrated, the louder the noise got. It seems as if the metal framing around the top of the door isn't rigid enough to prevent it from wobbling or flexing under highway speeds- creating a gap between the door and the rubber.
I'd be interested to see if that's the same issue that other people are having.
