TSB 16-0079 | ROOF OPENING PANEL – RATTLE/POP/TAP/TICK NOISE FROM THE TOP OF THE B-PILLAR – BUILT ON OR BEFORE 8/10/2015 |
Publication Date: May 4, 2016 |
FORD![]() | 2015 Edge |
ISSUE:
Some 2015 Edge vehicles equipped with a roof opening panel and built on or before 8/10/2015 may exhibit a rattle, pop, tap and/or tick noise coming from the roof at the top of the B-pillar. Noise can be heard above and behind the driver and/or passenger front seats.
ACTION:
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
- Does the vehicle exhibit a rattle, pop, tap and/or tick noise at the top of the B-pillar when going over bumps?
- Yes – proceed to step 2.
- No – this article does not apply. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 100-04 for normal diagnostics.
- Position the roof opening panel to the full open position.
- Remove the roof opening panel side trim panel on the affected side. Refer to WSM, Section 501-17.
- Locate the roof opening panel net pad. Passenger side shown, driver side similar. (Figure 1)
Figure 1 – 16-0079
- Using a straightedge and a depth micrometer or other suitable measuring device, measure the depth of the roof opening panel net pad in the center of the square. Record the measurement.
- Place a 2 cm (3/4″) brass punch in the center of the roof opening panel net pad.
- Using a 5 lb. dead blow hammer, hit the brass punch with enough force to indent the roof opening panel net pad sheet metal 2 mm (1/16″).
- Using a straightedge and a depth micrometer or other suitable measuring device, measure the depth of the indentation in the roof opening panel net pad. Subtract the measurement taken in Step 5 from this measurement to make sure a 2 mm (1/16″) indentation has been made. If a 2 mm (1/16″) indentation has not been made, repeat the step.
- Indenting the roof opening panel sheet metal more than 2 mm (1/16″) may cause deformation of the roof opening panel frame. This may prevent the roof opening panel side trim panel from setting flush against roof opening panel glass.
- Using a straightedge and a depth micrometer or other suitable measuring device, measure the depth of the indentation in the roof opening panel net pad. Subtract the measurement taken in Step 5 from this measurement to make sure a 2 mm (1/16″) indentation has been made. If a 2 mm (1/16″) indentation has not been made, repeat the step.
- Clean the roof opening panel side trim panel and roof sheet metal with isopropyl alcohol in the locations shown. (Figures 2-3)
Figure 2 – 16-0079
Figure 3 – 16-0079
- Apply a one step urethane glass primer to the roof opening panel side trim panel in the locations shown. (Figure 2)
- Apply a 10 mm (3/8″) wide X 15 mm (9/16″) tall bead of urethane adhesive a minimum of 30 mm (1-1/8″) long to the roof opening panel frame in the locations shown. (Figure 3)
- Reinstall the roof opening panel side trim panel. Refer to WSM, Section 501-17.
