I think this was the one that was whistling.

I ordered a new one from the dealer this morning, $103 and change.

Thanks again for this info, the car was nearly undriveable with that LOUD whistle going nonstop!
Glad to help.

Could you estimate how long this DIY would have taken, if the new part had been there?



Thanks.
