Subject:Re: whistling vent window fix?

Hey Wil

I had a whistling issue with my 84 and finally found out it was not the
window. The wind was coming through a small gap at the front end of the
gutter. I put a small amount of clear silicone caulk in the gap and
that was the end of the whistle.

Hope that helps.
