Window/Door Noise
I have a rattling/creaking in the driver's side window. It's hard to pinpoint however, I would say that it's coming from where the glass meets the liner in the door since it makes the noise only when the window is all the way up. When the window is down or partially down then, no noise. As usual, the dealer can't fix it. They say that nothing's wrong and all connections are tight. They say that the creaking is normal since the window rolls up so tight against the liner that any flex in the vehicle will cause this noise. Does anyone out there have a solution for this noise?
Thanks.

I had a similar noise in my drivers side window. Took it in to dealer and they replaced some weather stripping. No noise now except for what the dealer told you was normal. I think there was a service bulliten addressing this issue. Try searching for "window rattling" or go the the tsb link.
Hope this helps.

Follow the process of documenting everything and start with meetings up the chain. It worked for me. The last time I was in the dealership, the service manager comes up to me with a smile and handshake. See the service manager and the general manager and ask to meet with the Ford area rep.
