SUBJECT
[NEW] Wind Noise from Front Door Window Seal by Side Mirror
MODEL
F30
From start of production (SOP) to June 2012
SITUATION
The front window may have wind noise by the side mirror when driving.
CAUSE
The window guide seal is not properly fitted to the door.
PROCEDURE
With the window closed, confirm the location of the deformed (folded-in) window guide seal near the mirror triangle, and then proceed to the next step.
1. On the affected front door, check both sides of the seal and locate the folded-in area.
2. This close-up shows the folded-in seal area. Insert a narrow nylon tool from above the fold and between the window glass and seal. Gently work the tool downward, and pry the seal outward to eliminate the folded area.
3. Confirm that both the inside and outside of the front window glass are parallel to the seal and uniform with no folds. The window must remain closed for a minimum of two hours for the seal to "learn" the new position.
