Condition
Some customers may comment on a howl or whistle noise from the rear windows and/or the rear of the vehicle while driving.
Cause
The rear window reveal molding clips may not be properly seated into the door frame.
The rear window reveal molding seals may be distorted.
The rear door frame retaining holes may contain castings/flashings or not be uniformed.
Correction
DO NOT push or force the rear window reveal molding back into place. This may cause the reveal molding to break.
Inspect the rear window reveal molding seals, the door frame retaining holes and the clips following the procedure below:
Each rear door should be opened completely and closed firmly a total of six complete cycles. This cycling may help potentially unseat any loose reveal
molding clips.
Inspect the fit of the rear window reveal moldings to the door frame with a plastic trim stick.
If no gaps are found between the reveal moldings and door frame, refer to Interior or Exterior Windnoise in SI for further diagnosis.
If a gap is found, remove the inside garnish molding. Refer to Rear Door Opening Frame Garnish Molding Replacement in SI.
Remove the reveal molding. Refer to Rear Side Door Window Reveal Molding Replacement in SI.
