Replying to: kkelln (May 18, 2009 5:53 am) Regarding the blind spot detectors, I recommend 2" convex mirrors, which stick on the surface of the side view mirrors (I mount mine at the outer, lower corner on each side), to eliminate blind spots. These cost about $4 total and completely eliminate bind spots along both sides. Of course, they do require the driver to actually check them.... Just when someone makes something that is foolproof, along comes a new model of fool. |

Here is the down and dirty of the TSB for that rather spooky winshield howl/whistle/honk. If your dealer can't find it.... Show 'em this. It's TSB: 23-023-08 SUBJECT: Whistle, Honk Or Howl Sound Coming From "A" Pillar Or Windshield Area OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves applying clear flowable silicone sealer to the backside of the windshield molding lip seal to adhere the lip seal to the A-Pillar. MODELS: 2008 (RT) Town & Country/Grand Caravan SYMPTOM/CONDITION: The customer may experience a whistle, honk or howl sound from the A-Pillar area or windshield area of A-Pillar on either side of the vehicle. A combination of high ambient temperatures above 32° C (90° F), high driving speeds 112 Kph (70 Mph) or higher and cross winds are required to make this sound occur. The condition may be intermittent or can be continuous when the conditions are met. An outer lip seal on the windshield moulding that contacts the A-Pillar may vibrate and cause this sound. DIAGNOSIS: If the vehicle exhibits the condition described in the Symptom/Condition, perform the Repair Procedure. PARTS REQUIRED: Qty. Part No. Description 1 04467708 Clear Flowable Silicone Windshield & Glass Sealer - (1.5 oz. Tube) 1 Tube may service 2 vehicles NUMBER: 23-023-08 GROUP: Body DATE: August 1, 2008 REPAIR PROCEDURE: 1. Start at the top or bottom of the A-Pillar and insert a thin fiber stick between the A-Pillar and the windshield molding lip seal so the lip seal is lifted up and away from the A-Pillar. (Fig. 1). NOTE: A thin card (plastic) can be used as a tool to lift the lip seal from the A-Pillar if a thin fiber stick is not available. Fig. 1 A-PILLAR WINDOW MOULDING 1 - A-Pillar 2 - Windshield Moulding Lip Seal 3 - Windshield Moulding 4 - Windshield 5 - Silicone Sealant Applied to Back Side of Lip 6 - Windshield Moulding Lip Seal Lifted from A-Pillar NOTE: The area where the sealer is applied is narrow. Carefully cut the silicone nozzle tip at the narrowest point at an angle to be able to apply the silicone into the area described. 2. Insert the nozzle of the silicone sealant in between the A-Pillar and windshield molding lip just behind the fiber stick. 3. Move the fiber stick slowly along the A-Pillar while allowing the silicone to flow onto the back side of the molding lip and A-Pillar. 4. Proceed as far along the A-Pillar as possible. Do not overfill cavity. There must be an adequate volume of silicone to adhere the tip of the lip seal to the A-Pillar. 5. Wipe the A-Pillar surface clean of any excess (exposed) silicone sealant. 6. Allow sufficient time for the newly applied sealer to air dry. POLICY: Reimbursable within the provisions of the warranty. 23-023-08 -2- TIME ALLOWANCE: Labor Operation No: Description Amount 23-50-25-90 Adhere Windshield Moulding Lip to A-Pillar (B) 0.3 Hrs. FAILURE CODE: ZZ Service Action -3- 23-023-08 |
