Re: Whistling Mirrors solved
I know this is an old post but I thought I would share how I solved my "whistling Mirror" problem. I remembered reading about this several months ago.
My solution was I smeared some clear silicone on the outside of the rubber seal and metal housing. It seemed to take care of it. I attached a couple pictures, its a little hard to see what I actually did, especially since it is clear silicone.

Re: New Mirrors!
Thanks for the post. Good idea. I'm used to the whistling now. I think it keeps the deer from getting hit on those country roads!!

Re: New Mirrors!
You gotta put the backing plates on or the mirrors will vibrate bad and go out of adjustment real fast. It's a little bit of a PITA - you have to take the window out to get your hand back there and hold the backing plate on while you screw it on. I wish they would tell you about the backing plates. The only one I've seen that carries them so far is GMC Paul's - and I believe he wants $30 for a pair. I just fabbed up a couple pieces of quarter inch plate, drilled the holes, put nuts on the back, and pray that I don't need to pull them off again for a while (My '70 just got painted). BTW, not to jack the thread, but I have a pair of those mirrors if your interested, just PM me.
