DIAGNOSIS
WINDNOISE DIAGNOSIS
Caution: An assistant should drive the vehicle while
the technician checks for the location of the wind-
noise, in order to prevent personal injury or vehicle
damage.
A test drive in the vehicle is necessary to accurately
determine the location of the windnoise. Often there is
a primary leak and secondary leaks. Failure to repair
all leaks will only reduce the windnoise, not eliminate
it.
During the test drive the technician should bring the
following items to aid in determining the location of
the windnoise.
•A mechanics stethoscope or vacuum hose
Masking tape
Strip caulk
A china marking pencil
A screwdriver
Perform the following steps in order to conduct the
road test:
1. Choose a route that includes smooth straight
streets that run in all four directions (north, south,
east, and west).
2. Choose streets with little traffic or noise that would
interfere with the test.
3. Drive the vehicle at the speeds at which the noise
was noticed by the customer or until the noise is
produced. Do not exceed legal speed limits.
4. The windnoise is external if any of the following
conditions occur:
The windnoise is caused by the wind.
The windnoise can be heard with the door glass
lowered and while the vehicle is being driven.
The windnoise is eliminated when tape is placed
over various moldings and gaps.5. Internal windnoise is air leaving the vehicle and
should be repaired in the following manner.
In order to locate the leak, tape off the body
lock pillar pressure relief valves. This will cause
air pressure to build up inside the vehicle and
enhance the windnoise.
Use a stethoscope or a vacuum hose to locate
the leak.
Temporarily repair the leak with masking tape.
Continue testing in order to determine if the noise
has been eliminated or if other leaks exist.
When all leaks have been found, return to the
shop and make permanent repairs with the
proper alignment techniques and sealing
materials.

WINDNOISE REPAIR
Windnoise leak repairs are very similar to waterleak
repairs. Refer to Section 9I, Waterleaks. The actual
procedure depends on the type of seal being repaired.
Leaks around the door opening weatherstrips do not
al-ways indicate a faulty weatherstrip. A door or window
adjustment may resolve the condition. Refer to Section
9P, Doors or Section 9L, Glass and Mirrors.

•Tap lightly on the brake lines and listen for a rattle.
Install plastic tie straps to secure the brake lines
tightly together.
Raise the vehicle and perform a visual inspection.
Bend the heat shield slightly to gain clearance from
the underbody.
While the vehicle is cold, perform a test drive and
achieve full front suspension travel by driving
through a dip in the road.
Remove the insulators and wrap teflon tape around
the stabilizer shaft. Reinstall the insulators over the
tape.
Open the rear compartment and perform a visual
inspection of the spare tire and the tools.
Tightly secure the spare tire and all tools.
Perform a road test to verify that the noise is elimi
nated.

SQUEAK AND RATTLE REPAIR
Squeaks and rattles are caused by the unwanted move-
ment between parts of a vehicle. There are three means
to prevent squeaks or rattles.
Attach the parts securely so that there is no relative
motion during the operation of the vehicle.
Separate the parts so that there is no contact during
operation.
Insulate the parts so that no squeaks or rattles occur
with the movement of the parts. Low uniform friction
surfaces can be used to eliminate “stick-slip”
motion.
