'lo all

Just taken on a lovely new project in the form of a '91 supra..

At 60mph+ though, wind noise from the wing mirrors is terrible!! Is there a standard fix for this anyone knows of?

Here's hoping...

Huh? I can't say i've ever heard it, i can drive with the targa off at 60 and still hear birds chirping. Arre you talking about with the windows up, or down, or is something loose? I can't say i've ever heard of anybody complain about this, but bomex does make "aero mirrors", there about 1/3 the size as stockers and they give you a huge blind spot too, look nice though :p

just press the small rubber in which the glass runs (near the mirror) together so the rubber comes closer to the outside of the glass.

@ the service bulletin , toyota knows about the probs and changed the stay including the rubber for the mirror ....

Wow, thank you for that! I will have a look asap.

I've just spent 2 hours this Saturday repairing the rear window wiper... works a treat now, although a terribly messy job!

you can tighten the mirror closer to the body by prying loose the triangular cover on the inside and tightening the three screws inside... if it's a matter of a small gap, silicon might fix it

Those screws should be tight already, if there not then you were about to lose a mirror. Also, you do see the date on all of these threads your digging up right?? Most of them haven't been touched in over seven months and there's no reason to.
