Nosie after windshield replacement

    My company owns a number of 2004 Jeep Libertys. Recently we had to
    replace the windshield on 2 of them. When we got them back there was
    a lot of wind noise that seems to be coming from the bottom corner of
    the passenger side. We took them back to the company that installed
    them and they said their was a piece that had fallen when they removed
    to old glass and didn't know exactly where from. They put it where
    they thought it fit best. They resealed the glass but it didn't help.

    We then took them to a local trusted mechanic and he could not figure
    out why it was happening or where that piece would go.

    We then took it to the dealer who said we need to take them back to
    the installer.

    Before we incur the expense of the dealer, I wanted to see if anyone
    else out there has had this problem and what the fix might be, or if
    anyone could tell up what the piece might be and where it should go.

    Any info is greatly appreciated.

    If you bought several Libertys from the same dealer you would think he would
    be able to take time out to look at the service manual for you.

  3. Park the liberty with the factory glass next to the liberty with the
    replacement
    glass, and look very closely at the two windshields from all angles. I
    would
    bet that there is a difference in curvature of the glass - the installer
    probably
    used aftermarket glass that was almost, but not quite, exactly like the old
    glass. The new window probably does not fit exactly right and the installer
    tried filling up the gap with an abundance of sealer.
