Whistling wing mirror! Driving me INSANE

[CrippsCorner]

Hi lol, my drivers wing mirror constantly whistles in the wind, my god, its annoying :S

Anyone else had this? If I bend it slightly whilst driving its alright lol but that's hardly ideal. I was thinking of sealing the gaps with superglue or something!? Done that on my 206 cause that whistled after I had put my carbon fibre covers on... unless anyone's got any better ideas?

lol, i thought it was just my car lol, and now there are two of us....

 

[CrippsCorner]

Maybe it's something to do with Essex lol. Have you solved it or just livin with it lol

My mirror glass vibrates too, but can't get the cover off without damaging it to work out why!

 

[Tigger]

Before you put anything on that you can't reverse, use electrical tape to make sure the area you seal or smooth is correct! I thought the whistling came from the hole left where the temp sensor would go? Don't get it with mine though so can't be sure.

Mine aslo whistles but it aint the hole, taped it up to no luck I found when driving if you put your finger over the big gap where the mirror folds it stopped but have just learnt to live with it!!

Noticed this when i first test drove my car lol i soon got used to it.
The salesman man said all clios are known to do it.
Reno could have at least stopped a feckin whistle

Exactly the same here. Thought I'd get used to it or something... Wrong!

Have shoved loads of blu tack in the hole underneath but that didn't solve it.

Really annoying...

 

[Craig]

mine does it every now and then it did on my 172 doesnt bother me really

 

[Curley]

I must of got used to it because I have my music pretty loud

 

[Reyes]

I used to have insects that whistled at me when i walked past them. They said i be sexy n ting but mirrors are a diffwent thing

 

[Michael172]

yer got that same peoblem. Place your hand in front of the mirror while driving and it goes away

 

[CrippsCorner]

Well taped a bit up today but has made it slightly worse lol. I'll try a new location tomorrow!

 

[DCI_DUDE]

Glad this has been posted !1 My girlfriend can here it when the window is down but i can't !!

 

[riz]

try pushing the interior light up it stopped mine

 

[182fastblue]

it only happens between 30-40mph on mine no less or no more lol if you fold your mirror in slightly it goes away and if you put slight pressure on the mirror downwards it goes away, it is the long thin gap where the mirror folds in that causes this annoying squeek!

 

[*DD*]

found out my mirror vibrated while i was on the motorway and couldnt see as well as i wanted to get in to the next lane lol, its on the passenger side though so I've basically forgotton about it coz it only happens when going fast and when going fast over here with no motorways the important mirror is the drivers side.....
I also noticed a whistle, wondered what it could be but have never tried solving the problem, just put my tunes up!

 

[CrippsCorner]

I've put a piece of black tape on the outer horizontal gap, and it seems to have solved it! looks okay so I'll probably continue to replace that every time i wash it for the moment. Maybe chuck some lacquer in there at some point or something.

It's the hole where the temperature sensor would go if the car was on the continent (it's under the passenger mirror over here) cheap french couldn't be bothered to cover it up....

I've plugged my hole up with loads of blu tack and didn't stop it.

Going to try plug up the gap.. failing that I'll use black tape like kayzee.
