NOISE - "SQUEAKING" NOISE FROM 60/40 DOOR WHILE DRIVING - VEHICLES BUILT THROUGH 5/30/97
LIGHT TRUCK:
1995-97 ECONOLINE
ISSUE:
There may be a "squeaking" noise coming from the 60/40 doors while driving. This may be caused by the body flex causing the doors to rub on the
weatherstrip, resulting in a squeak.
ACTION:
Replace the 60/40 door weatherstrip with new weatherstrip. The new weatherstrip uses a different coating that will reduce the friction between the door
and weatherstrip, reducing the possibility of squeak. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1.
Open the 60/40 doors and remove stepwell from the door opening.
2.
Remove the door opening weatherstrip.
NOTE:
DO NOT REMOVE THE PULL CORD FROM THE NEW WEATHERSTRIP PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.
3.
Install new weatherstrip starting from the lower B-pillar. Working in a counterclockwise direction, press weatherstrip into place.
4.
Remove Pull cord from new weatherstrip to allow weatherstrip to properly seat over interior trim.
5.
Reinstall the door opening stepwell.
