Any ideas, or is this normal. It's not coming from the bracket i checked. it seems to almost come from the bolt that holds the mirror to the arm. new to jeeps, but love em already.

H hlhneast Mudrunner Take a little tape and wrap the offending parts to see if it will stop. One cause might be a split acorn nut, usually found at the spot you think the whistling is coming from. Another is the mirror housing at the same bolt may be allowing air in behind the mirror. Like I said, tape up the spots one at a time, then seal or replace the happy, musical, little singing, drive you nuts $#%@@!!!

The singing of the tires should compliment the whistling. Then, if you don't like the tune they're singing, you'll need to upgrade your stereo system so you can hear the music over the tires <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Re: my mirrors whistle at speed [Re: Chris72] #817736 06/13/07 07:00 AM Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 153 Arkansas JWaldz Wheeler haha, It's all just one vicious cycle.
