I didn't get this with the Golf but the Rocco develops a whistling noise which is noticeable when I have the window down, it's coming from the gap between the door and the mirror, if I put my hand there the whistle stops. The noise only appears for speeds over 60kmph. Not the worst thing in the world but it is a bit annoying when you have the windows down. Is this a common thing? Not really sure how to fix it - apart from having my hand there everytime! :)

As i have the aircon on all the time I always have the windows up No sense in trying to cool the whole neighbourhood.

Only stuffs the aircon.

I had the same issue around a year ago. Took it to the dealer and they fixed it. Dealer said it was fairly common and something to do with mirror seals. They apparently pulled the mirror apart and resealed it. No whistle since.

Yeah, can't say I've heard this before in my car. Good luck with getting it sorted!
