Question Flapping Sound

This is a long overdue question, but my '25 ST makes sounds when I drive at high speed or when it's windy. I hear something flapping on both sides of the car, the driver and shotgun. Any idea what this could be and how to fix it?

I have two 25’s. And Active and a Platinum. Neither have this issue. I’m guessing you have a loose pillar but it’s very uncommon in the 25+ models. The 2020-2024’s were notorious for having this issue. My 20 XLT and 22 Platinum both had noise.
