NOISE - "RATTLE" FROM THE FRONT DOOR GLASS WHEN PARTIALLY OPENED-CARS BUILT BEFORE 6/1/90
FORD:
1989-90 PROBE
ISSUE:
A "rattle" from the door glass with the window about half way down may be caused by the center bracket contacting the regulator channel.
Although TSB 90-2-2 advised to perform an internal adjustment to the center bracket plate, this procedure may not fix the rattle.
ACTION:
Install two (2) foam insulators on the center bracket to isolate the regulator channel from the center bracket. Refer to the following
procedure for service details.
1.
Confirm that the rattle exists.
a.
Lower the glass about half way down.
b.
Grasp the top of the glass and move it in and out.
c.
If a "clunking" (metal-to-metal rattle) sound is heard, proceed to Step # 2.
2.
Remove the door trim panel and water shield. Refer to the Probe Shop Manual, Section 45-03, for removal procedure.
3.
Inspect and tighten all nuts and bolts securing the front and rear glass guides, window regulator and glass center bracket.
4.
Repeat Step # 1 while observing the internal parts for looseness.
