with it whistling run your finger round the window. The whistle will change when you get the right spot. From there there could be an easy obvious fix

Youve obviously forgoton your days with a bighorn and window switches that only work when the feel like it. On those days being able to open a quarterlight makes life far more bearable. I had a whistle in mine caused by the rubber strip having come part out. Easy fix
