noise

2011 Jeep Cherokee.
Guy says it's making a noise on the highway, air/****/tap noise , He is saying this. Brought it by and replaced it again, 1st windshield was sealed perfect and deck height was good. 2nd shield went in today and cust called later in the day stating it's doing the same thing. Used ASAP and sat for an hour before he picked up. I only heard the noise an SUV typically makes at 55mph?????

Use "blue tape" over the underside moldings all the way around. These had a problem with air lifting the molding and banging against the pinchweld cavity. If thats the cause you will need to seal near the bottom corners with adhesive to prevent backdraft

Re: noise

Chrysler has no TSB's on this issue. The best way to solve the problem is strategically place 2 inch blue tape around the windshield in different areas and when the noise stops that should be where your issue is. You could also remove the wipers and drive it to see if this eliminates the issue. If you need any further advice just give me a call or email me jbrowning@glass.com

Re: noise

Have had several issues with the cowl warped and making noise 2011-2013 Grand Cherokee. Replaced cowling took care of the noise, Insurance won't pay for it. Also there is a TSB on the hood hinges being loose and producing a noise. Hope this helps.

Re: noise

I agree the UGM moldings are very nice I use them on a lot of top molding applications. They do very will V.S other underlay such as the Gold brand.
