ISSUE
Some 1997-2004 Expedition, 1998-2004 Navigator built through 04/01/2004 and 1997-2003 F-150, may exhibit a pop/thump noise at the end of
window travel when either front window is rolled up. Some 2003-2004 Navigator vehicles may also exhibit a driver's door glass bounce back and reverse
to a mid-position. The condition may exist when the vehicle is stationary or traveling at low speeds, however the condition will become more
pronounced when traveling at higher speeds. This may be due to the window glass being too far outboard and catching on the glass run before seating.
ACTION
To service, adjust the window's travel path inward, by bending the flange on which the glass run is mounted. Refer to the Service Procedure below.
