ISSUE:
An air draft may enter the passenger compartment through the door handles and/or the power window/door lock switches. When the
windows, vents, or sun roof are fully or partly open a vacuum develops inside the passenger compartment that pulls air through the handles
and switches.

To correct this, install foam gaskets (E7TZ-14521-A) around both door handles and switches. Refer to the following service procedure.

Use foam gasket (E7TZ-14521-A) - one (1) is required on vehicles without power windows/door locks, three (3) are required on vehicles with
power windows/door locks.
2.
Remove screws holding arm rest area of trim panel to door inner panel.
