This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to revise the operation time.

ISSUE:

A windnoise may be heard at the rear door quarter window on some vehicles. This may be caused by the white locating clips of the quarter window not allowing the weatherstrip to properly seat.

ACTION:





Remove the rear door quarter window and remove 2 mm of the backside of the white locating clips next to the foam seal using metal shears or side cutters (Figure 1). This will reduce the possibility of windnoise by allowing the weatherstrip to seat properly. Refer to the 1997 Expedition Workshop Manual, Section 501-11, for quarter window removal and installation procedures.
