Bad Wind Noise from Driver's Side Mirror
I've made adjustments in the driver's side mirror on my '15 DSDP 4369,
but with no discernable difference in the extremely annoying noise. Can't
believe this isn't a big problem for the majority of owners. I'm at a loss as
to what to try next. Any ideas? It would seem logical that the more you can cut the resistance, the lesser the noise. I'd sure appreciate hearing from someone who has solved this headache. Thanks!

I thought I had noise from the mirror. Turns out it was from the window weep holes. I put black duct tape over the holes and no more noise.

Thanks, F117plt. That's something I should've tried by now. Is your
coach one with the "re-designed" DS mirror that is mounted differently
than the one on the PS? By chance a '15 DSDP 4369? Again, thanks for
your response.

I turned it around so it extends forward. Personally I don't care for the look of the PS arm forward and the DS back. It doesn't cure the problem but for me it's improved.

There's been some posts stating that you only need to cover all but one of the weep holes for the window. This stops the noise and still allows any water to drain out.

I moved my ds mirror in as close as possible to the side just enough that I can still see through the gap. Don't hear any noise now. This stopped the air from rushing between the mirror and window/A pillar. It does block a little of forward to the left vision but worth the trade off.

It's all design. I've seen some that are hung from the top. Haven't driven one but I would think the field of view wouldn't be limited as much as ours.

101stveteran...have you had the DS mirror wind noise that we're talking
about with your 2016 DSDP 4369? I've been curious whether they made any changes in the 2016 mirror to maybe correct that noise. If you've
experienced the noise what have you done to lessen/rid it? Some have
found the weep holes in the window to be the culprit...I have yet to cover
them with tape to see if they are at least part of the problem. As was said,
be certain to leave some way for the condensation to escape.

I have not had the noise. I have moved the mirror around trying to balance function of the mirror with getting rid of the huge blind spot and have not heard any difference.

In spite of a number of re-positionings of my driver's side mirror, I continue to have noise that is extremely annoying...to put it mildly. I'm getting the feel that very few are experiencing such, particularly with the '15 DSDP 4369, as I have. I'm curious whether my window can be playing any part in the air noise. Anyone else have such a problem that proved the window was the culprit? Are there suggestions I might follow to check for leaks around the window? Turn the hose on it? Although I feel the mirror is the problem, I have thought of taping see-through plastic over the entire window. Any ideas would certainly be welcomed. Thanks! Larry

We have a 2015 London Aire and about 9 months ago we started to experience a super annoying rattle/squeak in the passenger side corner. When we put an ear to it, its tough to pin point a location. Have used hand pressure to see if there is something loose or vibrating with no luck. Had the dealer look at it and the thought it was the awning over the door, but no luck. Also have tried wiper blades and also tried securing an antennae, and tape over the weeper holes. No luck. Only starts making the noise over 55mph.

Wouldn't that prevent them from weeping? That could trap water and cause it to migrate in as it fills the channel?
