Wind Noise Near Door Mirror (Supersedes 92-022, dated July 22, 1992)



SYMPTOM

Wind noise from the front door mirror area. The window run channel seal is loose or deformed around the front mirror.


PROBABLE CAUSE

The run channel seal goes up with the glass resulting in warpage and deformation.


CORRECTIVE ACTION

Push the run channel seal down, toward the corner, and apply adhesive to keep it in place.

1. Remove the outer door mirror according to the procedure in the Service Manual.

^ Civic and Accord: remove the outside mirror.

^ Prelude: remove the door panel to gain access to the door mirror.





2. Slide the run channel seal down, toward the hood.






3. Remove the run channel seal from the area shown.



4. Protecting the body with a shop towel, clean the run channel and the run channel seal with contact cleaner.





5. Apply a thin coat of 3M Weatherstrip Adhesive (P/N 051135-08011) to the indentation in the run channel and to the back of the run channel seal.

NOTE:
Do not use 3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive. It does not stick to Honda weatherstrip.



6. Wait until the adhesive is tacky, then reinstall the run channel seal.

NOTE:
If you apply the adhesive too thickly or do not allow enough time for the adhesive to become tacky, the weatherstrip does not adhere to the door sash.

7. Wait for five minutes to allow the adhesive to dry completely.

8. Close the window, and check the fit of the run channel seal.

NOTE:
If you apply the weatherstrip adhesive carefully, cleanup is minimal. Remove any traces of weatherstrip adhesive with 3M Adhesive Cleaner (P/N 051135-08904).

9. Reinstall the mirror, and check for proper mirror operation.
