Given the cost/ease I will replace anyway and see if that cures it.

You can silence it by running a finger under the wing mirror but I can't see of feel anything that might be causing the sound?!

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Most strange this as it has only happened twice and doesn't happen every journey but I heard a wind whistle coming from the drivers side at motorway cruising speed. Sounded like a window slightly open but realised it is coming from the wing mirror when I opened the window and it got louder. You can silence it by running a finger under the wing mirror but I can't see of feel anything that might be causing the sound?! Is there a common problem and does it come from wind of only one direction?! Can't work out why it is such an infrequent occurance?

POST 2Original post

Sometimes it depends what I've eaten.

POST 3Original post

Me too [ ] There is a plastic trim cover on the bottom of the mirror casing. Has that come loose? It did on mine (passenger side) - the clips didn't hold it properly - but I don't recall any noise. If it is the trim, they are only a fiver, and 5 minutes to fit.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Sounds very plausable, the sound definitely comes from the bottom of the mirror. Given the cost/ease I will replace anyway and see if that cures it. Thanks[ ] Looking forward to another big trip in the car this Friday[ ] 5-6 hours. I mere hop for a Porsche
