Agreed. Mine sound like the two videos posted. Only have them full up or full down because of this.
Same. Both my driver and passenger side windows do this. It sounds like the windows are going to break as I'm driving.

Sorry, I have an another comment clarifying that I'm only talking about the Bronco. I realize not every vehicle has that problem. Maybe only the Bronco.
And ALL vehicles with no window frame!
This isn’t a Ford issue, it’s definitely a Millennial problem!
All they have experienced in their short life are Prius’, Civics and Teslas, no REAL life stuff and they simply can’t handle it! lol

Great find. Mine is already in the shop to have this looked at. I will update you all when I get it back. Fingers crossed.

This is something that is known and has been discussed multiple times. It's an unwanted side effect of having frameless windows.

Having driven the Bronco for a while now, I highly doubt this will ever cause them to break. Maybe during a collision or jumping the Bronco could flex them enough to break.

Anyone who answers no on the survey is clueless and didn't understand the question or is trolling. Every Bronco will do this.
But why would you drive around with windows partially down? Mine are only up or down or in motion up or down. If you need to drive around with windows cracked you need to stop smoking

Not a smoker. Just like fresh air and it’s not quite warm enough to have them all the way down.

Saw this on a Facebook Bronco group.

I've seen this floating around, and am hoping someone has access to the procedure.

If the panel doesn't have to be removed, I am wondering if the adjustments can be performed at home (if no special tool is required).

I’ve posted the window adjustment procedure on several other threads, here it is again. This is also used for the window caught on weatherstripping issue.

This is great! Thanks.

I'm glad the TSB specifies to adjust-only, rather than all of that measuring and math in the other steps! Whew!

That TSB and these procedures definitely needs to be a sticky somewhere (if it actually works and if they aren't already).

Those other math steps are for the windows catching. I’ve done it on all 4 of mine lol.
