This begs the next question for Blwnsmoke, is the new ps mirror the same or different design to the one shown in post #7?
Is this an actual ident?

It appears that the new one and the one in post #7 have a different mount where it attaches to that triangular part that attaches to the vehicle. The new one looks like it has a smooth arm whereas the old one has a bit of a notch furthest from the front of the arm. piece They are not the same.

This is the area I was looking at. Perhaps it was just the angle.I dont think so. I see nothing different besides the angle of the picture.
To anyone this helps, I found that my ST’s wind noise/whistle goes away when placing a piece of tape over this seam circled here. FYI when the mirror folds the tape will just fall off so I haven’t found a permanent way to fix this myself yet.Still 2 different mounts. I do not believe they replaced the arm that extends out, just the mirror that's sits on top. I didnt get my paperwork yet (both insulator under hood and rear air deflector are on order) so I can't confirm if both mirror and base were replaced or mirror. I believe again, just the part that folds in when locked was replaced.

They make temporary caulk for windows/doors etc. It is clear and peels off easy, not wrecking paint etc. You could totally try that in the seam and see if it helps.

New gasket installed noise still there. It will be going back tomorrow Monday and they can keep it until this is resolved.Update. Took Explorer to Service and they found that the D/S door gasket is not hitting door ordered new gasket waiting for it to come in sand hope that was it.
