Wind Noise in Area of the Rear Side Windows
If you receive customer reports in the above model vehicles of wind noise in the area of the rear side windows, this may be caused by insufficient butyl between the edge of the rear window and the window rail seal on one or both sides of the vehicle. Perform the following procedure to resolve.
1. Remove rubber seal on the affected rear window glass; slide the seal upwards to remove (Figure 1).
2. Clean the window glass and the end of the rubber seal of the old butyl.
3. Install new sealant butyl in the end of the seal as shown in Figure 2.
4. Install seal with the new butyl onto the door glass edge. It may be necessary to use special sliding compound spray A000 989 35 60 in the groves of the seal to assist the installation (Figure 3).
Note:
The sliding compound spray can be found in Kit A000 580 03 50.
5. Slide seal down to the installed position
6. Remove excess butyl and close both windows to set seal firmly into position 1 - 2 minutes.
7. Check for leaks.
