High-speed wind noise / whistle from passenger side interior sail panel (mirror speaker trim) — anyone fixed this?

High-speed wind noise / whistle from passenger side interior sail panel (mirror speaker trim) — anyone fixed this?

I have a MY premium lr and get a distinct rushing wind/whistling noise right at the interior passenger sail panel (the little speaker triangle next to the window). It happens consistently at freeway speeds. If I press hard on the trim or put tape over the gap between the speaker trim and the window, the noise stops.

I brought it into Service, and the tech claimed wind can't come through there because it doesn't open to the outside. They realigned the window glass, but it didn't fix anything. To make things worse, they took it on a test drive but never went over 60 mph, so they couldn't even replicate it. I explicitly told them it only happens at 70 mph or higher, but the tech told me he wasn't allowed to drive that fast.

Since they can't/won't reproduce it on a highway, I'm stuck. Clearly, air or resonance is bypassing something in the mirror housing.

For those who have successfully gotten Tesla to resolve this: Is there something specific I need to tell them or ask for so they actually know how to fix it? Do I need to request a specific foam kit, a mirror gasket replacement, or tell them to check the exterior applique assembly? Any advice on how to get them to take it seriously without the 70+ mph test drive would be massive.
