Here is the thread about solving the mirrors wind noise. There is no need to know spanish, photos speak for themselves. The guy used velcro adhesive tape, strong one from 3M. I'll see if I do it on mine:

[brico] Eliminar ruido aerodinamico Retrovisores O2 - VAGclub.com

any chance of translation?

Seems to be a mod suggesting a way to reduce the aerodynamic noise caused by the wing mirrors (according to the translation software) it seems to suggest the noise is caused by wind getting through the cracks between the top half and the bottom half of the housing.

Translation (approx)

As a result of post of piripohttp://www.vagclub.com/forum/showpos...3&postcount=42 where it discovered that the aerodynamic sound that it is listened to from 100-120km/h, it came caused by the air that filters through the cracks of closing of the mirror, piripo I solve it putting velcro sticky in the meetings, I I have arranged myself to do the same, but it was very difficult to put and it did not finish to me convincing, therefore I have armed myself with a fine flat screwdriver and have disassembled the housing of the rear-view one:

In order to disassemble he is as simple as to introduce in center outer a fine screwdriver of the housing to release the only staple that takes:

Soon we changed next to the mirror and we separated poquitín the housing of the inferior part:

Once fact this the housing can be retired upwards throwing of her, the truth that is a very simple process, and this is the result:

Now he is as simple as to clean with alcohol the base well and to be trimming velcro to cover all the zones where the air by the cracks can put of folds of the mirror:

It is question to be making the form of the base and with a little patience in 10 minutillos we have the first ready mirror:

Opposite Vista:

Now it is only necessary to return to put the housing and ñapa Finalized.

Ñapa Super-Simple is one that you podeis to do you yourself, the cost on the 3 € I buy Velcro of the 3M house that seems that he is a little more consistent and the adhesive is stronger.

Now he is what the aerodynamic sound comments Piripo does not reappear until the 160-170, with which is possible to be circulated to 120-140 without no type of annoying noise and now to be maintained a conversation without problems

Another approx translation, between them you get the idea.

Just one thing I guess is not right in there:

The guy uses screwdriver to take the mirrors coverage off.

I WOULDN'T DO THAT !!!!!!!

I've learned in this forum how to do it, reading the post about changing puddle light bulb in mirror.

So, just turn the glas in the mirror to face the floor as much as possible and then pull the whole cover up, holding it with both hands.

I've done it that way and it went smoothly, without leaving screwdriver marks on side mirror.

Online translator sounds like the owner's manual to my Korean-made breadmaker!

Wouldn't it be far easier just to use a thin piece of tape to seal up the gap between the mirror cover and the base support - so the air doesn't get in? Or am I missing someting?

Yes, you don't see this

This is very interesting to me due to general wind noise and an awful noise at over 100mph (Autobahn before people get on at me)

I'll get my tube of bathroom sealent out later and run a bead around the gap, see if that does the trick......

Only joking! I can see what the Spainsh site means and how the soft side of velcro could solve the problem.
