Elmwoodie Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Anyone noticed an improperly sealed front windshield? I have a 2010 r/t. On COLD (Canadian COLD) winter days on highway drives of several hours the front windshield seems to make noises when hitting highway bumps. A rattle almost. Seems to be mainly from high passenger center of windshield. Like maybe the heat differential from 2 hours of DEFROST on the inside and terrific cold on the outside has broken the seal. Never hear it when driving in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlm1079 Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I am having the same exact problem with my 2012 Journey, purchased new and only has 23k miles on it. Every driving circumstance that you mentioned is also the same in my case. Going to call the dealer tomorrow. What was the outcome for you?

webslave Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I don't think it is the windshield being "loose"...if the seal was broken in an area, it would leak, but, wouldn't rattle. That laminated plate glass is very rigid and very heavy. Most likely you have a loose wiring harness or bracket under the headliner that, in very cold temperatures, shrinks a bit and allows a rattle. There are a lot of wires that travel all over the car under that headliner and can rattle in the right conditions. A good dealership can probably track it down, but, my WAG is something under the headliner and not the windshield, especially if it isn't leaking... Keep us posted on what you find... jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
