Took first 450 mile trip yesterday in my first GMC motorhome and heard lots
of windnoise around the front windows. Is this normal or is there someway
to reduce it. Am I incorrect in assuming that much of it comes from the
outside mounted rearview mirrors? Is there a better and quieter outside
mirror available? Any help will be apprreciated.
 
I have worn window channels for sure, did not think that they would cause
this kind of noise though.Am planning on replacing them as soon as I
complete the big jobs.
