The large mirrors contribute to overall noise, but that's true on all SUVs and trucks. In my case there was a definite buffeting noise at speeds as low as 25 mph or when it was windy, this mod fixed that problem completely.

"Biscuit", where did you get the gray foam from? Did you also use the yellow stuff? It doesn't look like you did from the picture, but just asking anyway?

I used the thin gray foam. I think the foam I had came from computer packaging but almost any foam will work.

For me I had to be driving above 50mph and have a cross wind to hear the noise. It's more of a whistle that appears to be coming from the upper rear part of the driver's or passenger's window.
I did the fix myself with a little deviation from the process described here. I used a small piece of dense blue packing foam as described, however I also added a strip of window weather seal (from any hardware store) around the inside of the cover (between the tabs and the inner rib). Drives a bit quieter than my 2006 Sienna now.

Ya know, there is another fix to this problem, but it invovles a SLEDGEHAMMER.

It seems like anything about 40 or so it gets a little loud. So far I've just cranked the radio or I was on the phone.
