UPPER/LOWER WINDSHIELD TICK NOISE – NV009-06 September 18, 2006

Upper Windshield Glass Stoppers:
1. Remove both sun visors and both A-pillar garnishes, and then carefully lower the front
of the headliner to gain access to the windshield stoppers (refer to the appropriate
model year Repair Manual for the proper procedure).
NOTE:
It is very important that the front of the headliner be lowered carefully and slowly.
Applying too much downward force on the headliner will cause it to develop a
permanent crease in the surface material.
The stoppers are located on the inside of the passenger compartment behind the
windshield glass blackout section (near the top front edge of the metal roof opening).
The stoppers are typically located 20 – 25 cm (7.9 – 9.8 in.) inboard of the top
corners of the windshield glass.
2. Cut OFF the tip of the plastic stopper as shown in the illustration.
HINT:
It is sometimes necessary to bend the metal body tab down to gain access to the shaft
of the stopper.
