The door trim trick works but didn't get rid of all the noise so I went with brute force LED cover and that did it and it made me Ca. legal.

Yep, works perfect!! Zero wind noise. All of my friends have done the same. $12.99 problem solved and looks awesome.

I just point my light bar downward a little bit and the whistling goes away. when its time to use it just angle it straight ahead. easy free fix
