Noise from the upper part of the windshield


Cars Affected

900 and 9000 models

Background

On some 900 or 9000 models, a whistling noise can arise coming from the center, upper part of the windshield. This complaint is isually generated at higher speeds and is more likely to occur during hot weather.

Material:


• Double-sided tape: 74 97 357*

*5 pieces required per car - 10 pieces supplied

• Teroson cleaner FL (1 liter): 30 15 815

or equivalent degreasing product


Action

In the case of customer complaint, the noise can be eliminated by fastening double-sided tape between the upper part of the windscreen trim and the roof panel.

If this procedure is done in conjunction with a windshield change, the tape should not be divided (see point 3) but should be used as it is on the card.


1. Lift the trim from the upper part of the windshield. See Figure.

2. Clean the edge of the roof panel and the surface of the trim where it makes contact with the panel using Teroson cleaner FL or equivalent degreasing product.

3. Divide the tape while it is still attached to the card. See Figure.

4. Center the first tape in the middle and then place two pieces of tape close together on either side of the center one.

5. Refit the trim.
