In actuality, they had told me every time the car was in for service or other issues, that they heard nothing unusual coming from the side door/window. So, I guess they did hear the noise after all. So then I said, logically, that if that is the case - could I replace the mirrors with something else and he said no, they are aerodynamically designed and replacing them won't help with the wind/noise issues. The noise can't be helped - its the way they are. OK - Great - stuck with this noise everyday on the parkway - So then - as to the escalating, whining noise, he told me to drop off the car and someone would look at it, but then when I asked for someone to take a test drive with me, he begrudgingly agreed to an appointment for tomorrow. I asked to go on a test drive because of their previous history of not "hearing" anything - I wanted to make sure this noise was heard this time. I made the appointment - then reconsidered and canceled. I didn't like his confrontational attitude and felt like I was just annoying him - maybe I need to bring a man with me next time....
