HELP: Hilux Wing Mirror Noise

Postby siner69 » December 18th, 2013, 3:24 pm

When driving upwards of 100 kph I notice that the wing mirrors make a loud whistling sound as the wind hits it. It took me a while to determine where the noise was coming from but eventually I pin point the issue to the mirrors. Has anyone else experienced this issue, and what they did to resolve it?

First of all check to see if it's tightened properly. Check rubber between mirror and body

I get that noise while driving my lux, but i noticed its in areas with high crosswinds hitting the vehicle while im doing 120km and over. Like caroni, just after forest park, and between golconda and tech flyover, i dont know of any remidy for it tough....

I had the same problem it might not be the mirrors but the doors themselves push in the top of the door with the window down more to where it curves it may be coming from there
If not have you put on the chrome covers on the mirror? That causes it also

Guys it really helps to know that not me alone experience this...I did in fact have the chrome covers, so I took it off to check, same issue. Now I'm not even sure its the mirror too. Just from oberservation I'm trying to narrow it down. It really does happen at crosswinds, but I noticed when I crack the window a bit, it stops...if i send it right back up, it starts again....
