- Tony, I'll try to solve the issue. once Ive tried everything I can, I'll give your guys a call.
- I taped all edges of the blinker/marker light and still had the whistle. I'll have to get more creative I guess. I'm thinking it may just be a burr or something on an uneven surface. If the whistle wouldn't go away when I fold them in, I'd be looking elsewhere on the truck haha

Tony, I spoke to the tech support guys and they said they haven't heard of the whistling problem yet but they will be shipping me a new mirror tomorrow. He is also checking on the gap at the bottom for me.
I couldn't ask for better customer service!

Let me know how the new mirror works for you. I have a whistle I can't get rid of either on the driver side. My fit is good and I am just living with the whistle because I love the mirrors.

Waldo - I'll let you know. I should receive the mirror Monday. I should have it on by Tuesday as UPS passes about 8pm at my house. I would live with the whistle but my truck is so quiet, it was very audible and I'm the type where that noise would drive me crazy. The tech and I think it is a defect in the plastic mold. I have taped EVERYTHING, replaced the foam, added larger washers to the bolts, checked all window and door seals. The whistle only goes away when the mirror is folded in.

I went down to MT to pick up my mirrors last weekend. I installed them today. They are enormous! The visibility is outstanding and build quality is near OEM. There is a bit more wind noise but nothing major. They don't mount as well as I had hoped but I am quite ****. I think there may be a part of the mirror base contacting the steel of the door thereby preventing a factory tight finish. I have to have a small gap either at the top or bottom which leads me to believe they pivot on some point of contact in between. I must investigate later when time allows. For now, I can't wait for camping season to resume!
