t0lkman Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 I'm attaching the photo of the weatherstrip part which could be very easy pulled it looks like it's not glued or attached to hold well. is it the same case for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightanium Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 If you’re talking about the rear door one yes. Had to use rtv to help keep it on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tightanium Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Yep. That’s the one I was thinking it was. I used RTV. The reason I used RTV was I’m thinking it would be easier to clean up if I had to remove the weather strip. There was a thread here about this already if you want to research more. I put A thin bead on the strip itself then pushed it on the pinch weld. Be sure to use the smallest hole in the tube because you can push the tip inside the weather strip, slide it along the opening and no RTV is visible. Unless you squeeze to much in there. Close door for a day. No drips no mess. So far so good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Frankly, its a pretty poor design. Almost every time it rains, the weatherstripping comes loose. I finally resorted to gluing it back in place with clear RTV. Both sides. The body engineers really goofed on this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shumax Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Don't you find that design to be poor? It's going to trap moisture in there and eventually lead to rust forming on that lip, up the fender. Ask any Honda owner from the late 90's that had the rubber strip on the wheel well lip. Mine, too, is loose. I took it off to clean and it looks worse back there - had thought about leaving it off for good. Just not thrilled with the idea of it being on at all - long term, I think rust is inevitable. Shumax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1004ron Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 My drivers side was hanging down and allowing mud to get past. I pulled it clear, cleaned all the crud out the groove, cleaned it and the metal surface with brake cleaner, squeezed the seal a little with pliers, and its been holding tight for three months now. Agree, poor design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWRBB Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 It's just for wind noise. The older Edges did not have that extra seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe that's correct - when mine was hanging it allowed all the mud to foul the inside of the door. No difference in wind noise when I put it back in place.

IWRBB Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) I'm saying it's not there to keep water out of the inside of the car. It's there for further noise/wind reduction at speed. Ford didn't put it there to keep dirt out of your door jambs- they put it there because their competitors did and their NVH benchmarks where not up to par without it. No, you won't hear "wind noise" with it not in place, but remove them all and it'll be slightly louder at highway speeds than one that has them in place.

mvan231 Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 This is good to keep in mind. Thanks a bunch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1004ron Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Just visualize that weatherstip coming off, and it'll be pretty obvious where the muddy water thrown off the wheel is going to go, the areas I've outlined. Also seen in the attached photos is the inner seal, and with that in tact there's no way water or debris, or noise is going to make its way inside.

omar302 Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) For whats its worth, Ford's TSB 18-2339 for fixing "Dirt/Dust And/Or Ice Accumulation At The Bottom Inside Of Doors" also involves replacing the rear door "rear portion" weatherstripping with updated parts and a "Grip Tape" that helps hold the said weatherstrips better. In addition a "Foam Patch" is also installed on the door itself to better "push" against the weatherstrip.

IWRBB Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) For anyone who may purchase RTV to do this fix, I'd highly recommend buying The Right Stuff. It's a Permatex product, it's black, and is pretty much the best RTV available. https://www.permatex.com/our-brands/the-right-stuff/ https://www.permatex.com/product-category/gasketing/the-right-stuff-gasket-makers/ Edited July 25, 2019 by IWRBB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
