I have stock 2022 non sas OBX with the factory liner. Itās noisy, my wife hates it! Iāve gotten use to the noise and itās tolerable, but itās the only thing about my Bronco I donāt like. As stated by others, do yourself a favor go for a test drive in a hardtop.
Itās the wind noise thatās bad, not road noise. The results speak highly of the soft top or poorly of the hard top. I think itās the latter. I have had many Ford SUVs and none, none have been anywhere near as noisy as my non SAS, OBX, 4dr.. I have no expectations that it would be as quiet as...
All dealerships were aware that allocations are a way of life with Ford and knew they were subject to change, unfortunately customers of the dealerships werenāt. Dealerships deliberately taking an unusually high amount of orders for a specific model knew the risk, again customers did not.
Took it in for an evaluation which turned out to be a joke and waste of time. They spent a total of 16 minutes looking at it including a ātest driveā and a āvisual inspection ā. No sound readings, no panel removals with gasket inspections. Was told ātheyāre just noisyā.
For me the rubber and foam didnāt help much. I removed it and added the interior C pillar molded filler part and it helped more. I have an appointment with my dealer In 10 days for an āexcessive wind noise evaluationā. Apparently there some technical service bulletins for āexcessive wind...
Most of the part is covered by the roof, only the one side shows that fills the gap. First photo is without the part and second is with.
Part numbers are:
M2DZ-78255A34-BA (RH)
M2DZ-78255A35-BA (LH)
Your photos show that your missing the C pillar inter molding. Just added a missing one on mine and it made a difference.
First photo, molding is missing, second molding is present, third photo is the part itself and last photo shows part location on the pillar. The part definitely fills a...
The dealer ordered the replaced but the cost had to be waved by the salesman, not sure why, something about āmissingā parts not covered by warranty, but donāt quote me on that. I will try to install it this weekend but to be hones, not sure it will make a difference. If anyone wants to order...
Yep. Right side missing the āfillerā. Did you have it on yours? It didnāt look like the roof would fit back on if I put all the gasket material on the side with the filler so I stopped and will take to the dealer. I tried looking up the part number (M2DB-S254A43-BAW) on the filler but...
Missing C pillar part.
Did all but the rear panel. When I removed the top rear panel I discovered a missing plastic filler piece on the right side of the C pillar. Attached are photos. First photo is the left side with filler, second is right side missing the plastic filler and last is the...
Again thanks for the great post. Planning on doing today or tomorrow. Two questions. Regarding the mid panel did you do just the curved side ? 3 sides? Or all 4? Secondly regarding the rear panel molding #1 is shown but not really discussed as to where it actually goes. #4 on the edge...
Again thanks for the outstanding post and documentation. I have purchased all of the material and intend on installing it all soon. Not ever having the rear panel removed, Iām a little concerned about properly installing all the tubing on that section. Iām assuming there are changes in the...
