TSB 07-8-6 WIND NOISE AROUND FRONT DOORS

 

Publication Date: April 11, 2007

 

FORD: 2007 Expedition

LINCOLN: 2007 Navigator

 

 

ISSUE:

Some 2007 Expedition and Navigator vehicles built before 12/6/2006 may experience wind noise around the exterior driver and/or passenger doors. This may be most noticeable near the b-pillar area of the door.

 

ACTION:

Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.

 

SERVICE PROCEDURE

 

Check the build date of the vehicle.

If the build date of the vehicle is before 12/1/2006, continue to Step 2.

If the build date of the vehicle is on or after 12/1/2006, continue to Step 3.

Verify that the glass run inserts at the b-pillar corner are still in the correct position (Figure 1).

First roll down the window and peel back the inner flocked sealing lip in the b-pillar corner.

There will be two inserts located in the corner. They should both be touching in the corner and at a 90 degree angle.

Sometimes they can shift or fall down into the channel. After verifying the correct plug position, continue to Step 3.

 

 

Figure 1 - Article 07-8-6

 

 

NOTE: SOME TRUCKS BUILT DURING THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER MAY NOT HAVE THE TWO (2) INSERTS MENTIONED IN STEP 2, THERE MAY BE A SINGLE MOLDED PLUG INSTEAD. IF THERE IS A SINGLE MOLDED PLUG AS SHOWN IN FIGURE 1, CONTINUE TO STEP 3.

 

 

 

With the front door window in the up position, inspect the b-pillar metal carrier for being slightly bowed out and not making contact to the outside glass surface. (Figure 2)

To adjust, compress the b-pillar metal carrier inward just below the b-pillar corner to ensure it seals to the glass. This can be done by rolling the window down and pressing inward in the location mentioned above.

NOTE: BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVER COMPRESS THE METAL B-PILLAR CARRIER.

 

 

 

Continue to Step 4.

 

 

Figure 2 - Article 07-8-6

 

 

With the window in the up position, inspect the front glass run for any gaps by running a piece of paper between the glass run and window to determine any areas where sealing may be an issue (Figure 3).

Make sure to run the paper along both the inside and outside sealing surfaces of the window to glass run interface.

If a piece of paper freely slips between the glass run and the window at any location, there may be a sealing issue and the glass run needs to be replaced.

 

 

Figure 3 - Article 07-8-6

 

 

NOTE: IF THE WIND NOISE CONCERN IS STILL PRESENT AFTER PERFORMING THIS SERVICE PROCEDURE, CONTINUE WITH NORMAL WORKSHOP MANUAL DIAGNOSIS.

Thanks so much!!

 

I wish us consumers did not have to do the Dealers homework!

 

I forwarded this to my dealer and I will show it to the Ford rep when he checks my tailgate water leak.

Keep in mind this is for the front doors.

Thanks I have it on my Limited that was built May16. Drivers side. This will work out because I am taking my truck in to have my drivers side rear rim replaced. Noticed while cleaning them there is a defect in my rim the 20 inch size. just waiting for it to come in. Thanks again for the post.

I notice some wind noise near the front of the window, possibly the outside mirror assembly?
