Angry Anyone Getting Wind Noise From Driver Side Mirror

I Got My Gs 350 3 Weeks Ago And Im Noticing A Whistling Noise Coming From The Drivers Side Mirror. Its Subtle But Annoying. I Dont Even Know If Anything Can Be Done For This Or Is This Some Design And Aero Defect. I Would Appreciate It If Anyone Could Give Me Some Help Or Feedback

I Have Checked Out Other Forums And Its Seems Common On The Gs,sc,and Ls Models From The Side Mirrors Or Over The Sun Roof. The People On The Forums Have Said That Lexus May Be Able To Fix It. Some People Have Had No Luck. This Is A 50000 Dollar Car. Wind Noise Is Completely Unacceptable. This Is Not Some Crappy American Car

yes, i noticed a wind noise too, not a whistle per se, but a sound of wind passing by the driver's door. i hate it and went to lexus to check on it. my initial diagnosis is that the driver's side door did not seal properly. the tech said he would do some mods, bu when I came back 24 hours later, they had forgotten. they only changed my wheels like they were supposed to.

my car is at the dealer for the wind noise and its being lowered. I hope both turn out fine, when I complained about the noise the service rep made it seem like could be taken care pretty easily. If not Im not letting it go. I need a car that is free from probs
