This may be a dumb question, but does anyone else have this open slot on the front-facing section of their driver's side tow mirror? This open section is not on the passenger side. What is it's purpose? Did a cover fall off to expose this slot? I put electrical tape over it to cover the gap and possibly stop the whistling I'm getting when driving at 40mph+. Thanks.

Looks like it could be the outside temperature sensor, my mirror has the same thing.

I searched all over for info on that slot! Should have started here and saved some time. Hahaha!
Hahaha that was a funny one!
Did you find what makes the noise?
Btw, don't use electric tape because it leaves some goo and it's hard to take off... use blue painter's tape

I put the tape on about an hour ago to see if that resolved the whistling I'm getting while driving.

Any luck?

Nope. Tape didn't help the tea kettle whistling I'm getting. It's so annoying. Truck is going into the dealership this week for it (plus, my upper glove box light doesn't shut off and my driver seat is splitting at one of the seams).
