Subject:
Correcting Whistling Noise From Windshield

Application:
9000 Models

Supersedes PSI 10/93-0383

A customer complaint of a whistling noise coming from the center, upper part of the windshield can be corrected by fastening double-sided tape between the upper part of the windshield trim and the roof panel as outlined below. This complaint is usually generated at higher speeds and is more likely to occur during hot weather. If the windshield has been replaced on a car and it has been incorrectly mounted, this could also contribute to the complaint.

Cars Affected:

9000 Models

Parts:

Double-sided tape 74 97 357*

*5 pieces required per car - 10 pieces supplied

Teroson cleaner FL (1 liter) 30 15 815
or equivalent degreasing product

Action:

If this procedure is done in conjunction with a windshield change, the tape should not be divided (see point 3) but should be used as it is on the card.





1. Lift the trim from the upper part of the windshield. See Figure 1.A.

2. Clean the edge of the roof panel and the surface of the trim where it makes contact with the panel using Teroson cleaner FL or equivalent degreasing product.

3. Divide the tape while it is still attached to the card. See Figure 1.B.

4. Center the first tape in the middle and then place two pieces of tape close together on either side of the center one. See Figure 1.C.

5. Refit the trim.
