I know many people (myself included) have posted about the rattle with the power sliding rear window. While there has been decent discussion about the possible cause, and some have even said they have had their trucks in to the dealer for the issue, I have never seen anyone state whether they got the problem fixed...or even if something that was replaced did not fix the problem.

So anyone that has taken their truck in, please post your experience with the outcome please.

 

Anyone?

 

I have read a couple different theorys on this one.

1) That it is not the window, it is the cable from the motor.
2) That it is actually the Headliner near the rear window rubbing.

Have not seen a fix for the first one but if it is the second scenario then the person used a piece of weather stripping placed between it and the roof to stop it.

 

One gentleman on here, Fordllllllllll or something close, mentioned that Ford was putting foam or styrofoam between the power window motor and the rear of the cab to stop the noise, that it was the motor hitting the cab that was causing the problem.

Not sure how he knew this or even if it's actually the cause, but that's the only "solution" to this problem I've ever come close to seeing.

Someone else also mentioned he was going to remove his rear seat to find and stop the noise, but haven't seen anything from him since then.

I hope feverishly that the problem has been fixed at the factory by now, as my truck will be up for build soon. Fingers crossed.

 

I haven't gotten around to pulling out the rear seat yet to look for this thing. It's too dadgum cold to be out there working on the truck. And, frankly, the rattle just doesn't really get that much on my nerves anymore. Once spring gets here, I'll probably start digging. Heck, get rid of that rattle, and my Screw will be as tight as any BMW.

 

I usually only hear the rattle when it is extreamly cold out, I haven't heard it in about a week so I am waiting untill it gets cold again so I can have someone drive while I sit and listen in the back.

 

still wanting to hear from someone who has taken to a dealer on this.
