As title really, above 50mph get a strange whistling from the passenger side air vent / mirror cant quite narrow it down!
Have had a good look around the mirror cap and that, seems sitting flush and proper,
Any ideas?
Cheers

Tape over all the gaps on the wing mirror. If it stops, it's that. Simples

I wasnt joking about the wiper.
I have been assuming my wingmirror been whistling when I notice the end of the blade on passenger side rests just off the edge of the window...wipe the screen and the whistle goes away for a second!

Has your screen rubber popped out? Happened on the estate and caused an annoying wind rush at speed.

I had an annoying whistle from my drivers wing mirror which took a while to find the cause. the painted cover was slightly loose underneath (i think it must have been taken off before) and air was passing through it. It was only a tiny gap. I replaced the mirror but you could probably stick it down with double sided trim tape if that's the problem
