Did the installer now know about whistling effects?

That's just messed up.

Default side mirror whistling

I just had the same problem with my 2016 IS f sport. right when i got on the freeway leaving where i got the clear bra installed on both mirrors it started whistling. i thought it was the windows at first. this is a great heads up. I will let him know and try to either shrink the film size or take the whole thing off.

Right on bud. I KNEW this would help someone out there. Its infuriating because they look at you like you are crazy. You can peel it off very very easily or just have them do it. I am in amazement that the cars aero is this sensitive

I drove my new LS 460 off the lot yesterday and heard the high pitched wind sound coming from the driver side as soon I hit beltway speeds.
The dealer had ClearBra removed from the mirrors this morning.
Drove home to the sound of silence.
Thanks for this post. I was afraid I was going to have the same problem as the pre-2010 owners were experiencing.
