Service Procedure
1. Perform a road test to identify if the wind noise is coming from the exterior mirrors/A-pillar. Does the vehicle exhibit
a wind noise coming from one or both exterior mirrors?
(1). Yes - proceed to Step 2.
(2). No - this article does not apply. Perform normal diagnostics. Refer to WSM, Section 100-04.
2. Lower the front door window glass of the affected side to the fully down position.
3. Remove the exterior mirror. Refer to WSM, Section 501-09 Rear View Mirrors > Removal and Installation >
Exterior Mirror Assembly.
4. If the exterior mirror foam gasket/seal remains on the door, remove and refit the mirror foam gasket/seal back onto
the mirror before reassembly. (Figure 1)
Figure 1
5. Separate and fold back the front door glass top run from the door frame and the run channel in the areas
highlighted in Figure 2.

6. Is the vehicle built on or before 06-Nov-2023?
(1). Yes - proceed to Step 7.
(2). No - proceed to Step 9.
7. Remove the existing lower inner foam.
8. Install the new lower inner foam.
(1). Insert the front of the foam first making sure is seated under the window run/sheet metal and the foam shape
properly fits the curves of the door. (Figure 3)

9. Print the foam template by clicking this link. Verify the horizontal and vertical scale of the image using a ruler
against the scale on the template printout (Figure 5) to confirm the image scale is correct. Is the scaling of the
template printout the same scale as the ruler?
Figure 5
(1). Yes - proceed to Step 10.
(2). No - adjust scale of the printing properties to actual size to resize the image. Repeat Step 9.
10. Layer together 3 pieces of the PVC Soft Foam Strips to obtain the desired thickness.
11. Cut the shapes from the template printed out and trace the shape of the back side of the foam. Cut the foam
along the line traced on the back to create the shape indicated in Figure 6.
Figure 6
12. Cut an additional 10 mm (0.39 in.) slice into the foam in the area indicated in Figure 7.
Figure 7
13. Remove the existing glass top run foam and clean the surface to remove any residual foam. (Figure 8-9)

toward the header/A-pillar corner. (Figure 13)
Figure 13
(5). Tuck the end of the foam extension high up under the lip of the glass top run following the upward angle of the
run. (Figure 14)
