Default Repair of the A Pillar Molding to stop the common ?rattle/wind noise? complaint.

Brought over from other site for future questions.

At 46,385 miles the repair is needed again on the passenger side because I had been hearing the noise again for the last few weeks or so now.

The truck had both sides repaired at the dealership with 30,410 miles on the odometer using this same method. I am hoping this time it will last longer, if not the next time I?ll just turn the radio up louder when the wind is above twenty mph.

Picture one is the removal of the ?Non Functional Air Intake? and done by pulling straight up on it to release the four clips in picture two. Mine come off easier than I thought it would and went flying across the hood so don?t be surprised if yours does too.

Picture three shows releasing the doors rubber molding from the A pillar molding by pulling towards the front of the truck.

Picture four is of the doors rubber molding being removed from the A pillar molding.

Picture five shows the removal of the two Phillips head screws from the A pillar molding. Once the screws are removed you will need to pull down and out (and also release any possible 3M tape that may still be sticking to the windshield) to remove the A pillar.

Picture six shows the existing 3M tape on the inside edge of the A pillar and that was not sticking at all to the windshield when removed.

Picture seven shows the damage done to the windshield by the A pillar vibrating against it over time. Yes, that is a thin lined groove in the windshield and was actually in three places on it.

Picture eight is after the 3M tape is removed and after using denatured alcohol to remove any left over adhesive from the tape. Also need to clean the windshield off in the area where the 3M tape is suppose to stick with the denatured alcohol.

Picture nine shows the new one half inch wide 3M tape replacing the old tape. Got to get it as close to the edge as possible but just far enough away to not make it noticeable, about a sixteenth of an inch maximum from the edge I would guess.

Picture ten is of it all back together, just reverse the process. Took me about an hour or so to complete it on one side.
