Driver's Side Mirror Whistle

[Byrds8]

Anyone else have a whistle coming from the driver's side mirror? Is there an easy fix vs taking it to the dealership to tear apart my door and fuck something up? lol

It may not be the mirror. You can fold it in and check. I get a whistle on my driver's side in crosswinds at highway speeds with or without mirror out. I think the wind gets between the door seal where it meets the roof.

It goes away when I fold the mirror. The whistle starts around 40mph

Just keep it folded or stay under 40.......Mary Barra, probably!

Yep mine does too. Axe covered it-gets in between the door and seal. I just push the go pedal further down and eventually it goes away. Other fixes include enhancing radio volume level or asking the Duchess of Nagstown to accompany me on a journey. YMMV.

In all seriousness the stealership can’t do much with it. It’s an aerodynamic anomaly. Big truck makes big noise. They managed to get them quiet over the years and now you hear all the wind noise and farts from friends.

Funny thing is the passenger side mirror is quite as a mouse. No whistle no nothing.

It’s the shark fin antenna on the roof. The air spills over the drivers side door.

When I fold the mirror in, the whistling stops. When I have time, possibly next weekend, I'll tape seams to see if I can figure out where it's coming from. It goes into the dealer on 2 December to have the rear camera replaced. If I haven't figured it out then, I may tell them to.
