Squeaking Windshield

[ReadyMav]

If you had spent $150K you could still have squeaks. The general public has a really weird and often misguided sense of what they should be getting in terms of quality. Aside from that acoustic glass you bought a $20K car. You need to remember this every time you drive that truck. Have they not been able to fix it because it had not been duplicated? Or have they been making repeated repair attempts. Details matter A LOT in these conversations.

Unfortunately I think your expectations are too low. No vehicle no matter its price should have a windshield that squeaks/ticks. I’ve owned several Ford vehicles in the past and fit and finish has been excellent. The Maverick finish is good…fit is terrible. I’ve had 3 failed window seals, loose strut mount and loose wiring inside door. Now I have a windshield tick. Some may say turn the volume up, that’s not my style. I forked over my hard earned money and I expect Ford to do the same through warranty payment and make it right if they can’t build a vehicle properly. My Dealer has been great to work with and taken all issues seriously and resolved then first attempt. Windshield is on the list in early December when parts come in for last window seal. Besides these items the truck has been great and meets all my needs. Patients is definitely being tested.

Poor seal job from the factory. My Hybrid Lariat Lux had this issue when I bought it. Thread on here somewhere about it. The dealer was over a month out on an appointment just to look at it.

Fortunately, a rock cracked my window and I had the windshield replaced by Safelite for $100 insurance deductible. Fixed the noise issue, and didn't have to deal with the dealer and waiting.

Edit: Rattle in the dash (a minor yet major annoyance) | Page 16 | MaverickTruckClub - 2022+ Ford Maverick Pickup Forum, News, Owners, Discussions

Here's what mine sounded like Video - Google Photos

Mine has gotten worse over the last few days, and now squeaking on both sides, not just the driver's side. My wife is annoyed every time she rides in it, so maybe I will learn to live with it, lol. I'm just kidding. I will have my dealer address it when I can be without it for a couple days. Is it an issue with the windshield not being sealed correctly, or simply the dash rubbing something and making the squeak?

It's not 100% clear, but it seems like it's windshield related due to the fact that a few folks have gotten theirs replaced due to rock chips and the issue went away. I'm hoping they can figure out my issue this week.

hmm, let us know what they tell you.

Same situation here. Started creaking when it got cold outside (<35 degrees)

Just dropped mine off at the dealer. Should get more info tomorrow when I pick it up.

Here's my update, which isn't an update: the Ford dealership was not able to repro ANY of the following issues for the two days they had my vehicle.

1. Squeaking windshield
2. Auto start/stop not working (battery tested, but ZERO reasoning provided as to why auto start stop doesn't work)
3. Center screen on the dash will not come on at all when it's colder
4. Vibration in the steering wheel is "normal" (it's not).
5. Door rattles...also not repro'd

Going to the dealer now to pick it up and press for answers. This is my, I believe, 12th visit to two dealers since March.
