Annoying rubbing noise from rear of the Bronco... Solution: Aero Cosmetics Rubber Care

[dpAtlanta]

I don't mind creaks and pops and odd noises from my Bronco... it's a Bronco, not a Lexus.
But I developed an odd noise that became louder and louder over a short period of time. It sounded like a rubbing noise in the back of the Bronco. It was most prevalent at low speeds when I first start driving it... it seems to be dependent on body flex.
I opened the rear swing gate and lifted the rear glass, then went for a test drive... the noise went away.....!!!!!!!

Naaaaahhhhhh.... I can deal with the Bronco noises, it's a Bronco for God's sake, who could complain?

I wonder if this might help with the awkward sealing of the side windows?
