Mine whistles too, a while ago someone said that an
easy fix is to first insert wax paper into the wing
gutter, close wing and fill gap with black silicone
adhesive, wipe clean and let dry. THe wax paper is for
keeping the adhesive off of the areas that need to
stay unglued.
Have not tried this yet, my stereo puts a band-aid
over the whistle for now:)

<P>I have the same problem myself. If I pull the lever
in the whistle stops. Only way I can see to stop it is
to replace the seal. However in the mean time I plan
to cut a piece of an aluminium can and shim it behind
the lever. This should take care of it for the
winter.</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Not very . . . precise that is! :^)
Coming from the window. If I pull (or
<DIV></DIV>>push) on the lever that latches the
wind wing, the whistling noise changes. If
<DIV></DIV>>I open it, the whistling stops . . .
followed, of course, by the in-rush of
