Default Wind noise from outside mirror (xA)

Luckily, my xA has been solid and quiet. I haven't heard a single rattle or squeek. But one thing I do get, is a fairly loud wind sound from my driver's side mirror. I almost always have my windows all the way up, so I'm 99.9% sure the sound I hear is coming from the mirror. I start to hear it as soon as I reach highway speeds, or even at lower speeds if it's really windy out. As far as I can tell, I don't get the sound from the passanger side. I can't see anything different about the driver's side or why it would be happening. Any ideas?

Yup, same problem here, although I'm not gonna close them in to see if the wind noise goes away. I think the wiper assembly vibrates a lot too, but I'm not too sure...

Hmmm...thanks guys. Sounds like it could just be "the way they are". If I ever figure out a way to fix it, I'll post it here.

Noise?

I know on mine you can hear some wind noise as the speed increases past 45mph, but nothing I'd call annoying or out of the ordinary at all. It's very muted and soft in sound to my ears, and until I'm up past 60mph, I really don't notice wind noises much at all in this car.

Then again, maybe you're ears are more sensitive?

also, in case someone bumped them, fold closed, then unfold these folding side mirrors. maybe that'll seat things?
