ISSUE
Some 2003-2005 Expedition / Navigator vehicles may exhibit wind / whistle noise around the outside mirrors at speeds above 40 MPH (64 Km/h).
ACTION
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1.
Inspect the foam strip located on the glass run where it contacts the front portion of the window flange. This foam can sometimes be rolled over
into the channel of the glass run so that the foam is caught between the window flange and the glass run channel (Figure 1). In this case the foam
should be pulled from the channel and routed further outboard on the glass run to ensure it does not get trapped again during installation.
a.
To inspect for this condition the interior door trim panel and the outside door belt moulding need to be removed, Workshop Manual
(WSM), Section 501. Once the door trim and belt moulding has been removed, simply pulling off the front glass run from the window
channel to view the position of the foam strip.
