Default New 2010 LR2 Owner with a bunch of Different issues

Hi all! Thanks for taking the time to read my post. I tried to search for answers but had no luck.

I recently bought a used 2010 Land Rover LR2 HSE with 67K miles.

I love it so far there are just a few quirks I am trying to iron out.

First, when I am driving with no radio on, I hear a cracking noise coming from my AC vents. The sound comes from different vents at different times. At first i thought it was small rocks hitting my windshield as I was driving down the highway, but then I realized it was coming from the AC. It seems to be louder on hotter days. Any way to fix this?

Next I have an issue with the Driver Front Mirror. The mirror has the feature to change position when reversing to give you a better view. Unfortunately When I reverse out of my parking spot every morning, when I put the car back in drive the mirror changes to a position to where you cant see anything. I have to change it back every time I drive which is annoying. I tried following the manual and setting the mirror while in Park, Reverse and Drive, that seemed to work for a day but went right back to having the mirror adjust itself to a strange placement. The passenger side seems to work fine. Any way to fix this?

Next I have an issue with the drivers front door power window. sometimes it doesn't go all the way up and I have to hit the up button a few times for it to finally go up fully, Also when I use the automatic go up feature, When the window reaches the top, it sends itself all the way back down and after this happens I cannot move the window at all and it gets stuck in the down position. I learned if I open and close the door I am able to move the window again.

Next I've noticed that my windshield wipers tend to hit just slightly. The driver side knocks into the passenger side when they first start. I've double checked and the wiper blades are both the correct size. I've read up on tightening the wiper arm nut, Should that fix my issue?

Last I had a strange issue pop up the other day, I had my mate get into the car and we went for a ride, After I dropped him off the airbag light came on as well as the seat belt light. ( seat belt light would stay on even when all belts were buckled.) Both lights stayed on for about a week and then went off. This one got me a bit nervous as airbag lights can be troublesome.

Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

Looks like your heater/a-c blower might be going south. That's NOT an easy job to replace it.

Put the car reverse. Let the mirrors adjust. WHILE IN REVERSE and with the brakes FIRMLY applied, use the mirror controls to adjust them to where you would prefer they adjust to. Take the car out of reverse and they should stay that way. If they reset again you need to check your battery voltage.

No clue on that one.

They may need to be adjusted and/or tightened at the connection point to the motor shaft.

Last I had a strange issue pop up the other day, I had my mate get into the car and we went for a ride, After I dropped him off the airbag light came on as well as the seat belt light. ( seat belt light would stay on even when all belts were buckled.) Both lights stayed on for about a week and then went off. This one got me a bit nervous as airbag lights can be troublesome.
Under the seat there is a silicone-filled pressure pad, a pressure sensor and a sensor module. Pressure on the pad is detected by the sensor and transmitted to the module, which tells the car what to do. If I had to guess, I would think the pressure sensor in your passenger seat has gone south, but you'll have to have that checked by a qualified mechanic.
