Wind noise around mirrors

At highway speeds I get a lot of wind noise coming from that triangle part next to my mirrors (both sides). They look fine to me, no cracks or anything, and they fit snug against the new weatherstriping. Has anyone here cured this problem?

Re: Wind noise around mirrors

I had this problem, and I replaced the triangle seals.Now it is a lot worse. But believe I reinstalled the triangle a little too high and forward. I am going to try to adjust that and the window someday to fit better when the door is closed. Maybe you guys could try that.
