While driving in windy conditions, my side view mirrors will occasionally produce an obnoxiously loud noise from the wind. The best way to describe the noise is a multi-amplified version of blowing over an empty Coke bottle. Has anyone come up with a way to stop this noise? I searched and only came up with a couple of threads that even mentioned this problem (but with no fix).
Fix for Mirror Wind Noise?

This happens to me too in really windy conditions.
I don't know of any real fixes to this problem, but I am assuiming that you have the older square style mirrors (the 96-99 style). Since this really bothers you, you should consider getting the 00-02 style mirrors. They were redesigned to be more aerodynamic and cause less noise (I think).
You probably can get a pair off ebay or go to your local junkyard. Changing the mirrors shouldn't be that hard. There are a couple of screws on the bottom of the mirrors, so it would be a matter of taking those off and changing the wires over. Hope this helps.

I have an 01' as well and have noticed the same thing. I haven;t found a remedy other than folding the mirrors in, but I'd rather listen to the noise than loose my side mirrors. My current solution is to crank the stereo:rocker:
