Window Air Leak After Frozen Window TSB Fix
 
Does anyone else have a problem with the revised window seal after getting it fixed for the frozen window issue? At highways speeds (45+), especially on very windy days, there is noise coming from the back sides of the front window. A visual inspection shows that the window doesn't seal well there even though water doesn't get in.

Pic of the window gap? Try comparing to other people to see if other cars are like that.

I have that noise on the passenger side, and did not have the frozen window TSB done. Wind noise is common with these windows in general, unfortunately.

I'll get a pic in the morning and pop it up here tomorrow night. Unfortunately that is the best I'll be able to do.

I've had wind noise from the front corner of the drivers window after the tsb was performed.. the rubber piece covering the front corner of the triangle window was torn and crushed underneath the glass. Only the drivers side, so the tech knew how to do it (passenger side) but was lazy.

He also scratched up my window tint.

After rolling the window down then up 2 days after heavy rain, my window is covered in water droplets, making my wonder if this tsb did anything at all since this stagnant water will freeze during winter.

Cliff notes: don't trust technicians with your car. Getting this tsb performed has been a regretful experience.

Yes, that is absolutely how I feel about it - it marred my ownership experience with an irreversibly damaging "repair"! :paddle:

Just bring it back to the dealership and let them know that you've had the specified wind noise ever since the TSB was performed
