Default Lange mirrors

Does anybody else have Lange Mirrors that whistle from wind noise? I just put them on and even at 25 MPH they are so loud I can't stand it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Mine whistle too. It's annoying. Haven't been able to figure out how to make it stop. Also, the first time it got cold, they both cracked. Since then, the mirror has discolored along the crack. My overall solution is to remove them, throw them in the trash, and find a better product. Though, I have other things to worry about before that, and I do like the way they look, so, for the time being, they are staying. Who really uses the mirrors anyway. Kommikazie merges are the only way to go.

I used the plastic tubing that's used for electrical wires under the dash, just cut a slit around the corners so it would stay on. No more whistling......

Yeah I loved mine too, until they met a tragic death.

I used the oem relocators on my TJ and the passenger side was not even in site. With the JK I bought the olympic mirrors for when the doors are off. Other than shaking they are pretty good.
