That sounds a lot like mine. It's so loud it embarrassing when friends are in the truck. Good thing I have a big stereo! I'm not sure the whistling is coming from the mirrors as I have smaller street scene ones.

Mine made a low pitched whistling noise around 50mph. Turns out that the rubber trim around the top of the windshield was getting lited into the airstream and making the noise. I yanked it out and haven't noticed the noise since.

I dunno if it should go back in with some silicone style glue, but it has been fine for the past 2 years or so without it.

Can you fix the top with double sided 3m tape. I had to fix my sides when I first got it because it sounded like it was rainingg all the time.

Yeah i thought that was the problem with mine. But come to find out the urethane wasnt sealing the top of the windshield very good. What it was is that there are some little pins that the windshield sits on under the cowl panel and the people that put the winsheild before i got the truck had damaged them and the windsheild sat down about 1/4 inch farther than it should and so it didnt seal good on top. just a thought

i did tape off the windshield sides and top but on top i didn't tape between the rubber and windshield just rubber and paint. if that makes since. so i'll tape off rubber and winshield and try that. i made another vid i may put up also and i moved the camera up top alittle and down low too. it to me sounds louder up top than down low. i'll post it when i get home to my computer.
