This is specifically for the rattle over bumps.

The window drop feature is no longer available on vehicles not built with it.

Thanks for sharing this. I experience this feature with the windows partially rolled down in my 2 door Big Bend. My solution thus far is to roll the windows all the way down. Not ideal and I would certainly welcome something a little better in the future. I guess I'll stay tuned...

Maybe 2025 will have improvements.

Mine suck too, my good dealer tried adjusting everything, but they still have issues.

The 2 Door is probably worse.
No problem at all with my ‘23 BD 2 door. Hoping my replacement’24 Heritage 2 door is as problem free. 🤞🏻

And we're still waiting. The adjuster things on the bottom of the doors made zero difference for me.

The very obvious solution is to have their supplier revise the window seals with a C channel, or a flap that overlaps the glass, at the rear edge of the glass. You don't need NASA to tell you that you need to stop the glass from trying to fling itself outward after the rear axle hits an impact.

I swear I'm going to lose it if I see one more person say this is normal for vehicles that don't have full frame doors. My wife and I have had 5 vehicles over the years with doors like this and none of them made banging noises like this.

Floppy windows and sloppy Sync programming are my biggest peeves about the Bronco by far

Wanted to add that the "viral" suggestion to move the adjusters in the bottom of the door outward didn't help the banging one bit. In fact, it made my driver door window rattle when it was up all the way. Yesterday I moved the adjusters inward again. That stopped the rattling when fully closed.
