We've had our 1990 Custom Cruiser for 4 years and it has always whistled above 50. Like some one high pitch whistling. Checked all bearings, doesn't change with shifts or engine speed. Only thing that affects it is cross winds. Do the roof racks and mirrors on these square bodies buffet the wind enough to whistle? You can only hear it with the windows open. Anyone else experienced this?

That indicates a small gap somewhere that causes the air to vibrate at an audible frequency.

Worn door and/or window seals can cause whistling noise. Also, a door being slightly out of alignment and catching some air..
