Still have wind noise after tapeing

Post by Willyrover »

Hi all
I have taped up my external mirror over the gaps (see pic )but it did not remedy the wind noise. This is only happening on my driver side mirror. Any other suggestions for me please. I do have wind deflectors on the window but they seem to be housed away from wind at the edges already.

Regards

I fitted some wind deflectors, to stop water getting in when I used the washers with my window open.
The wind noise increased after I fitted them!

I still haven't found a way of making it quieter?

I really love the look of your van caddyluv but I'm not ready to change mirrors yet.
Its only a few months old. 2018 model. Trying to just remedy the wind noise for now.
I'm thinking of stealing your idea of the colour on the grill though. Breaks up the colours nicely.

regards

Where you have taped it. Take that of and get thin foam tape like 3m trim fix tape and put it in that gap.

Trim colour for your van. Lamborghini yellow would look good.

Hi All
Just to close out this thread and as help for others.
I tried adding foam tape in the gaps but the noise persisted.
There was actually a thin piece already in there from manufacture.
I ended up taking off the wind deflectors that were installed when I bought it.
The wind noise is now almost non existant. (Hooray)
I do prefer the look with the wind deflectors but not if they create that much wind noise.

Thankyou for suggestion along the way guys.

Derek
