my driver side mirror continues to gently vibrate at speeds over 60mph and that’s after they replaced it once. Did your mirror frame slightly vibrate before and how’s it now? I continue to have this whistle noise issue
So I just drove down to Newport today and it didn’t vibrate over 60 mph, just made a wind noise as expected from a mirror if this size ind the wind.Originally Posted by Festertester
oh man, really?my driver side mirror continues to gently vibrate at speeds over 60mph and that’s after they replaced it once. Did your mirror frame slightly vibrate before and how’s it now? I continue to have this whistle noise issue
before the problem was fixed it would whistle at anything over 25mph.

yes my kids also call it boiling kettle noise..lol. Yes it only comes with hvac on with fan speeds 3+ And seems to be coming from rear right, almost the d-pillars. . I’d like to learn more about the seal gap..you can only see it when the panel is removed? Originally Posted by Surge
My driver’s side mirror vibrates gently at highway speeds too, but I don’t have the noise. I did have a whistle noise, my daughter called it a boiling kettle noise, when one of the rear door panels had been removed to fix a lock. The seal between the window and the door, on the inside of the car, had a gap. Air was getting through that gap and causing the noise when the HVAC was on. If your noise goes away with the fan off, this could be the cause.

Mine comes on at hvac fan speed 1 and above….have been driving with HVAC off most of the time…very annoying.
Also, I don’t need to be driving, mine happens anytime the hvac is blowing….😢

You both are described the door seal gap that I had when the right rear door panel was removed to fix a lock (do Not use the child locks! I posted about this before).
Anyway, there should not be any whistling when the HVAC is on. Check the gap between the inner door panel and the glass window. There is a rubber seal which should be flush against the glass. If it isn’t, air from the HVAC blows past it, causing the whistle.
