| SUBJECT: | “Growling” Sound When Fully Closing the Door Glass |
INTRODUCTION
This bulletin announces a design change of the roof weatherstrip retainer/ molding to address customer concerns of a growling sound which may be heard when fully closing the door glass. The sound results from a deformation of the roof weatherstrip caused by the retainer/ molding. The retainer/ molding can cause the weatherstrip to “roll” as shown in the illustration below when the glass closes fully in the area where the “A” pillar meets the roof.
PRODUCTION CHANGE INFORMATION:
The new retainer/ molding assembly was incorporated into production starting with VIN G*600012.
