Thought my driver side window was leaking air as there is an intermittent squeal coming from that side. Seems to activate based on wind speed and direction and vehicle speed. Can start to squeal as low as 10 mph. Came to find out after driving with the window down that it is the side mirror. I have the the mirrors with the turn signal and puddle lights in them. Anyone know how I can fix this. It is a very annoying squeal.

Never had that problem with my 11 and now 13, both had/have the same mirror. Sorry the only help I can give is to bump you back up to the top.

Try taping off certain areas of the mirror with painters tape and testing. Once you've narrowed down where it's coming from, you may be able to fix it.

The noise may actually be a door seal issue from an inadequate amount of "stickum" being used to secure it to the door. Went through that issue with our 2012.
