TSB: Windshield molding?
7. WHISTLING NOISE FROM WINDSHIELD MOLDING
Service bulletin #049/92, Category S, Issued 10/5/92 Applies to vehicles with a VIN of JM1FD331*P0207061 or lower produced through May 31, 1992. Some RX-7s may emit a whistling noise around the windshield area when being driven at high speeds. Caused by air being pulled through the space between the molding and the windshield. A repair seal foam kit has been designed to fix this. Simply slide the foam under the windshield molding. Later RX-7s have the sealing foam attached to the windshield molding at the factory. Repair Seal Foam Kit - Part# B001 77 739 Can I just buy this kit from a mazda dealer and install it myself? I fall into the category for this problem and definately have the symptoms of lots of wind noise from that area. |

If this hasn't been done on your car yet, I think the dealer is obligated to do it at no cost. Could be wrong though as it's a "service bulletin"?

I'm not leaving my car with a dealer. You shouldn't either, hopefully they'll just give me the part and the TSB instruction.
As has been pointed out this is not a recall so get the kit from Ray and Malloy and do it yourself. |
