This TSB article is being republished in its entirety to update the model year application and to revise the part number specified.
ISSUE:
The factory-installed power moon roof may exhibit "windnoise/buffeting" at speeds between 35 and 45 MPH (56 and 72 KM/H) when fully open. This
occurs because the wind is unable to clear the opening without coming into the passenger compartment.
ACTION:
Take one of the following actions to resolve the concern.
1.
Advise the customer to close the panel from the full open to about 2/3 open when traveling at speeds between 35 and 45 MPH (56 and 72 KM/H).
This causes the wind to clear the smaller opening without coming into the passenger compartment.
2.
If Step 1 is not acceptable, change the power moon roof motor to the 1994 design level (F4LY-15790-A). This part has an automatic stop at the
desired low speed position as well as the full open position. Refer to the 1993 Thunderbird/Cougar or Mark VIII Service Manual, Section 01-17,
for service details.
