WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 TSB 16-0079 ROOF OPENING PANEL - RATTLE/POP/TAP/TICK NOISE FROM THE TOP OF THE B-PILLAR - BUILT ON OR BEFORE 8/10/2015 FORD: 2015 Edge ISSUE Some 2015 Edge vehicles equipped with a roof opening panel and built on or before 8/10/2015 may exhibit a rattle, pop, tap and/or tick noise coming from the roof at the top of the B-pillar. Noise can be heard above and behind the driver and/or passenger front seats. ACTION Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition. SERVICE PROCEDURE 1. Does the vehicle exhibit a rattle, pop, tap and/or tick noise at the top of the B-pillar when going over bumps? a/ a. Yes - proceed to step 2. b. No - this article does not apply. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 100-04 for normal diagnostics. 2. Position the roof opening panel to the full open position. 3. Remove the roof opening panel side trim panel on the affected side. Refer to WSM, Section 501-17. 4. Locate the roof opening panel net pad. Passenger side shown, driver side similar. (Figure 1) Figure 1 - Article 16-0079 5. Using a straightedge and a depth micrometer or other suitable measuring device, measure the depth of the roof opening panel net pad in the center of the square. Record the measurement. 6. Place a 2 cm (3/4") brass punch in the center of the roof opening panel net pad. 7. Using a 5 lb. dead blow hammer, hit the brass punch with enough force to indent the roof opening panel net padsheet metal 2 mm (1/16"). a. Using a straightedge and a depth micrometer or other suitable measuring device, measure the depth of the indentation in the roof opening panel net pad. Subtract the measurement taken in Step 5 from this measurement to make sure a 2 mm (1/16") indentation has been made. If a 2 mm (1/16") indentation has not been made, repeat the step. (1) Indenting the roof opening panel sheet metal more than 2 mm (1/16") may cause deformation of the roof opening panel frame. This may prevent the roof opening panel side trim panel from setting flush against roof opening panel glass. 8. Clean the roof opening panel side trim panel and roof sheet metal with isopropyl alcohol in the locations shown. (Figures 2-3) Figure 2 - Article 16-0079 Figure 3 - Article 16-0079 9. Apply a one step urethane glass primer to the roof opening panel side trim panel in the locations shown. (Figure 2) 10.

cv27 Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Thanks for sharing. Has anyone gone to their dealer to have this done? Results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougS Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 This was the TSB that was performed on my Edge back in May, after three other repair attempts didn't work. Mine is still rattle free today, so it worked for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWRBB Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Haha love it. Take a punch and a hammer and bend the frame. Nice fix Ford! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanaround Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Anyone with a 2016 have this rattle? I have a 2016 and I get a rattle that seems to be coming from a similar position. When I drive over uneven road surfaces, a rattle/vibration can be heard in the rear-right side around what appears to be the rear right passenger seat area.. although, because i'm driving I am not exactly sure (further investigation required).
