wind noise

[Don Bradner]

When I talked to Stephen Birtles he said that sometimes adjusting the mirrors
differently will make a difference in wind noise at the windows, but it seems to
me that it might be a difficult task to find just the right spot, assuming it
exists.

I have the aluminum mirrors, and the allen screws are all free. When I got it,
the driver mirror was fully out to the left. Good visibility there, but this rig
is wide enough without that huge protrusion! I moved it forward, and in both
cases the wind noise has been similar. On the right the mirrors are pretty much
the way they came, although I have had that one completely off in the meantime -
been working on polishing them. Even with the added top mirror they end a foot
below the top of the window, so I don't think they could ever be a poor
deflector.

I'm in holding mode on this until I can test my first attempt at a fix tomorrow
(the new pile strips in the forward tracks).
