I have searched but cant find it. My 05 crew has developed a squeaky rear window. It sounds like the whole thing is loose and the rubber seal is making noise. I seem to remember a tsb having to do with this and the fix being to use some tape and lubricant. I am taking it in but would like a little ammo even though my dealer has been real good. Thanks

 

When does it squeak? When you hit bumbs in the road or when you open the slider (power or manual)?

 

I'm sorry I forgot to say it squeaks when I hit bumps.

 

Mine too....especially over washboards.... something back there squeeks and im just guessing its gotta be the window.

 

Mine does it too, I've found that opening and closing will stop it teporarily. Let us know what you find out from the stealership.

 

Had the same problem this summer. Turns out there is a tsb on it. NOt sure of the number, but it just involves them re-lubing the window gasket. They just have to inject it under the window liner. Pretty simple, but still a pain. I got mine fixed, and now it seems that the sliding window rattles. Might be just dirt, but it is annoying.

 

Yea I remember it had to do with lubrication. I am sure it is the seal rubbing.

 

Had my seal replaced the first two times, the third time they replaced the entire back glass, motor, everything. That worked for about 8 months, but now it's coming back...

 

do you remember if yours was temp. sensitive. I was going to take mine in yesterday, it has been really cold around here but for some reason it would not do it yesterday.

 

Mine has been up to this point. Temps needed to be below 50*.

It hasn't done it the last few days, although it has been raining too.

I need to drive it tonight and see what it sounds like. They were supposed to fix mine the middle of December but the temps got up above 50* and have stayed there until this cold snap. We agreed to wait until it got cold again.

I took the service manager for a ride during the last cold snap since it was supposed to be fixed last winter but they couldn't recreate the problem once they got their hands on it. I'm sure when the truck warmed up sitting in the service bay, it probably wouldn't squeek when they took it for a spin. He heard it the night I took him for a ride though. Sounded like the whole back glass was ready to fall out. Annoying as hell unless you are driving down a perfectly smooth road. Those are few and far between around here.

 

yea sounds about right. I agree with annoying as hell. I get so annoyed it is almost unbearable. Smooth roads are few and far between here also. Thanks

 

I just had this fixed on my 05. I don't have the power slider, and they told me the TSB only had to do with the power units. However, my dealer spoke to Ford hotline and it was decided to re-shim the back window. I didnt ask what all that involved, but I know the headliner came out and the back seat also. Thank goodness for warranty. And yes, the rattle is completely gone.

 

Mine sqeeks too. Only when the pwr rearslider is open though. It does it too in the cold.

 

I forgot to mention, they tried to lube the slider as mentioned, but that did not fix the rattle in my case.

 

Mine seems to only do it when it is humid and only when it is open. It does not do it all the time, but when it does, boy is it annoying. My truck is out of warranty (48,000 miles) has any one gone in to get this fix outside of warranty? If so any ideas on the cost?
