Like the above post with painters tape..it's what I do all the time to diagnose wind noises. Apply tape in area's of concern, pull pieces away in small sections untill you hear the noise again..then fix the area.
BTW, only noises I've heard in that area is from the window seal like AMFixer stated...by folding the mirror, air flow is changed and possibly causes the air flow over the seal to re-direct..long shot, but anything is possible..I'd try the tape first
If it is the mirror gap and you don't need to have manual fold..bring them to a body shop and close up the seams and make it all 1 piece.
If you want to convert to the newer larger mirrors, you could..same mounting, same fitment just you would have to cut and solder on the old connector to the new mirror assembly..wiring is different and mirrors would work like your old style operates..no power fold unless you convert the door modules to the newer type...

I had a wind noise (not on my AM) it was with the Range rover recently also disappeared when i folded in the mirrors while driving, the dealer had it for 3 days even replaced the drivers mirror completely in case the molding of it was out in some way, no luck the they traced it to the door seal and replaced the entire rubber door seal on the body side and problem solved.
I would have sworn it was a mirror issue and it was only on the drivers side, so I was to learn something from that.... things are not always as they seem

Might be cheaper to change GF, but the new one will find something else to whine about!!! Count on that!
