My Mirrors Whistle

[tony182]

Had this strange noise for a few weeks, just found the cause,

my door mirrors, anyone help?

 

[White16valver]

do they whistle a good tune?

 

[Mike@Rentech]

back to ya dealer m8, they will change em under warranty.

Some do this for some reason

 

[cnic69]

Let me know how you get on with the dealer thing as i think mine is doing this

 

[tony182]

Will do, a good tune lol.

 

[2680]

at what speed does it whistle.is it 30-40mph

 

[tony182]

Yes, louder at 40 ish.

 

[clio__chris]

mine do the same a bit - i asumed it was the temp sensor and wasnt that bothered by it

 

[Clarel]

My cup does this too - very strange. Why do they change them?

 

[cnic69]

Must just be the design of the mirrors..not sure changing them will have any effect as they will be like for like.



It doesnt bother me too much but if i can get it changed for no money then il do it!

 

[telford_mike]

cant see why some would whistle and some not, unless theyre not fitted correctly Mine hum if theres a good tune on the radio

 

[admob]

its only at certains speeds depending on the direction and strength of the wind.... they will only replce them with identical shaped mirrors, so basically live with it....

 

[Red Clio 52]

Try selling them on E-Bay. Corsa owners have been known to pay big money for worthless mods like whistling mirrors. It might set a new trend Seriously, check that there is not too large a gap between the mirror fairing and the mirror body

 

[norfolkminis]

thought mine where doing this a few months back. turned out to be the silver door trim (2.0l bit) was sitting slightly proud.

Been silent ever since.

 

[mark266]

mine too, only above 100 tho

 

[jon_r]

Mine do, it depends on how they are fitted.

 

[Pete]

I just assumed as a mate of mines does it too that it was normal and put up with it.

 

[Newms]

My Brothers Type R done this, but his the comming from the air vent onn the left......... But we was doing 110

My mates Subaru was doing this but once again we was doing 135plus..... All on a private track of course

 

[mark266]

pmsl of course! ^^^^^

 

[TheCake]

The mirror glass flexes when I have my music on - its not that loud officer, honest

 

[Lunner]

My M3 mirrors whistled untill i gave em a good T-cut and polish (after the paint had hardened), that sorted it

 

[fastwunz]

Seriously, sell them on ebay under the caption realistic turbo noise power! dump valve not included and see how many Nova chavs bid for it!

 

[Lunner]

LMAO^^

 

[lot105]

im reckoning a little dab of grease should do the trick... i think its where the air is blowing through the gap formed by where the mirror can fold in (if that explains it!) or a big blob of blue tac perhaps

 

[D-CUP]

You sure its the mirrors? Can you hear it with the windows down?

 

[rwaterman]

I also get a constant whistle between 30-40mph im not that bothered about it yet??...................

[daz182]

ahh... so thats where the whistling is coming from!!!

Ive been trying to figure that out for weeks...

 

[S2 PTH]

yes thats definitely it

my old 306 wingmirror was hanging off on the left and side and that gap was really big, so at 90mph it started going mad!

 

[gazz]

mine does it too but only on the drivers side - i pulled the mirror in whilst driving and the whilstle stopped, but havent bothered do anything about it as think id get laughed out the dealership!!!

 

[raf182]

Hmm at first I thought it was the brakes squealing (which incidentally the dealers re-greased for me!) but I guess it must be the mirror.

Is there a near guranteed solution for this or is it just part of the Clio character?!

[cnic69]

They greased your brakes...how effective are they now?

hehehehe

 

[raf182]

funny b**tard
