I'm getting air flow from behind my mirrors.

There is a small amount of air seeping in from behind my side mirrors. It's becoming a problem, because when washing the RS, water is seeping in through the hole. I was curious to why, and if anyone has any good suggestions. The worst part about it is the d@mn noise that comes through at high speeds. -Thanks

I know the rubber COULD be wearing out. I adjusted my door windows to get rid of some of those odd leaks.

i honestly don't know. I haven't had the $ to replace it so I haven't looked into it yet. If I do, I will post about it here man. I feel your pain though, that air seeping in sound sucks.

Well, someone is selling a pair online. That really doesn't help all of us though.
