Question Noisy ML on freeway

1998 ML 320
Has anyone had a problem with lots of wind noise at freeway speeds? I was doing about 70mph, and it seemed like it was pretty noisy. I have to turn up the radio pretty loud to cover the noise.
I saw an earlier post about getting a 2nd weather stripping around the door.
I told the dealer and they swore that they could not reproduce it. They said what they do about wind noise is replace the seals on the window and it is about 2 hours pre-door for that. Anyone have similar problems or solution?

Thank you

The 98's were noisier than the later ones due to the single weatherstripping on the doors, and, I believe that they also changed the window seals in later ML's. The 98 I had was not bad but there is a noticable difference in my 02. Perhaps the single stripping in yours has worn or has a tear. Also take a look at the sun roof seal that could be your problem
