I recently bought 3 older accord sedans, a 1998, 1999, and a 2002. The 99 and 02 both had severe wind whistling noises coming from near the drivers side mirror, even at low speeds. It was driving me crazy, and I read several forums where others have had the same problem with their accords.
Last week I found the culprit. On the rubber trim just in front of the mirror face (on the outside of the car) there is a place where the rubber bumps out a bit and forms a cup shaped opening smaller than a pea. It's right near the top of the triangle-shaped mirror mount. I filled this hole with black silicone caulk and the whistling noise disappeared.
What I don't understand is that the 1999 has the same bumpout but no whistling. Anyway, I hope this helps someone else.

 

Thanks for posting. This sort of noise problem around the mirrors and window trim is common. Sometimes affects all and others no.

good luck

 

Hi, I have Honda Accord 2002, i hear whistling noise from pillar A driver side.

May I get the picture of the area that you put silicone on please? where is the exact spot that causing the wind noise? is it on the side mirror mounting? or the door seal?

Thank you very much
