Default Wind noise from drivers side view mirror

among the many things "wrong" with my car.... keep in mind i consider it a POS compared to my 2008 IS-F....

has anyone had "whistling" - like LOUD OBNOXIOUS 1962 chevy whistling noise from the drivers side view mirror?

mine is so loud you can hear on the highway at 80mph with the windows up.

Dealer: "we will have to open a case on this....."

yeah, along with the whole car....

still haven't fixed my hesitation / lack of throttle response problem at 1500ish RPM either.



frustrated..... should have just kept my 2008 ISF.. paid for and ZERO issues.

Disable the airbags and crash it in a wall.

True story: I had the EXACT SAME ISSUE on my 2008 IS-F. I traded it in for my RC-F. Fixed the problem completely... Seriously though, have the dealer replace the sideview.

nope,


no wind noise when the windows and sunroof are closed, and when open no more excessive than any other sports car I have owned.


no other problems either.


every manufacturer has lemons, I have personally owned 2 Chevy's that were buy backs over the past 6 years.


it is what it is, if your car is so problematic, open a buy back case.

I had a similar issue on my passenger side, more like wind noise/whistling. Turns out that the dealer installed PPF on the side mirror was incorrectly applied and making the noise at highway speed. Dealer removed and replaced. Problem solved

I'll post a video of it in a bit

I had wind noise from the driver side mirror when I had Xpel PPF on the RC350. I went with Suntek for my RCF and no noise. If you have Xpel, perhaps its their cutout that is picking up some draft?
