I've recently started noticing an increase in the wind noise coming from around the mirror region on my Mk5 R32 drivers door. Becomes most noticeable at about 80kph+.
I've disassembled the mirror and put everything back together as tight as it can go and all the parts seems to be fitting together properly. Even fully removed the mirror and reseated it on the door but it's made no difference.The seals around the mirror base look fine too.
Bit stumped what else I can do and the noise is really annoying when cruising along. Anyone had a similar issue or suggest what I could try next???

Put a couple of sheets of newspaper over the door and shut it and see if it pulls out and note the resistance If there is a gap it will just come straight out

I have a suspicion my wind deflector may have distorted/ruptured the exterior side of the window channel seal around the mirror base. They're the type that sit in the door frame and have metal clips to keep them tight.
I removed it again today from the driver's door and on the external seal there's obvious damage. Going to leave it off for a while to hopefully allow the seal to regain some of it's original shape and see if I can isolate the noise to that hole.
Thoughts?
