Not sure if anyone else has posted these - if they have I guess a Moderator can delete them. Figured they might help some owners.

Here's some current SSMs

SSM 50711 - 2021-2022 Bronco - Window Rattle When Driving Over Bumps

Some 2021-2022 Bronco vehicles may exhibit a window rattle when driving over bumps with the windows placed in the partially down position. This may be due to incorrect window glass adjustment from the factory. To correct this condition, perform the Front/Rear Door Window Glass Adjustment procedure located in the Workshop Manual, Section 501-11 > Front doors > Steps 18-26, Rear Doors > Steps 21-25. It is not necessary to remove the door panel to perform this adjustment. During adjustment, set the window regulator nuts to their most outboard position (this will move the top of the window inboard), then reevaluate the noise. Be sure to place the window in the fully down position during adjustment.

SSM 50476 - 2021-2022 Bronco - Hard Top - Exterior Cleaning And Care

2021-2022 Bronco vehicles equipped with the hard top roof option are compatiblewith traditional drive through car washes. Plastic surface conditioners and spray (liquid) wax/detailer products may also be used for care and maintenance. Avoid cleaning the hard top exterior surface with power tools/buffers, rubbing/polishing compounds and paste waxes/polishes as this could scratch or damage the surface. Cleaners that contain alcohol and other strong solvents such as toluene oracetone must never be used. Using those types of cleaners may cause unrepairable damage to the surface of the hard top. In all cases, verify compatibility in an inconspicuous location prior to broad application.

SSM 50477 - 2021-2022 Bronco - Short Drop Window Feature - Contact With Weather Strip When Opening

Some 2021-2022 Bronco vehicles may exhibit a side door window that gets hung upon the upper door weatherstrip when opening the door causing resistance to opening. This may be due to an incorrect alignment of the side door and/or window. To correct this condition, ensure no damage exists to the door, latch or related components and make necessary repairs before continuing. If concern persists, perform the Up/Down, Fore/Aft Adjustment (steps 1-15), refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-11, Front/Rear Door Window Glass Adjustment Procedure. If the concern has not been resolved, perform Pinpoint Test K located in Section 501-11 of the WSM.

I get that....but when I get a new vehicle I download / pdf / print the factory workshop manual (most have paid access for 72 hours, a month etc) so I can do my own work / repair if it's not something major I want documented at the dealer.

Just a note be careful when adjusting the windows. They can break easy. I’d let the dealer do that one do they have the liability

Wait a second... Are you saying they actually have a fix for the rattle? And does it actually work? That is rather annoying not being able to drive with the windows down an inch, always have to go further to avoid that.

It's an adjustment issue. These printouts are direct from the latest Ford Service Manuals / Updates. I know the '22 2dr BB we just took delivery of last week doesn't have a rattle issue. I've heard it make noise once - was half way down and I hit a pretty bad expansion joint on the interstate at 70+ mph and it rattled sort of once. That's it.

Guess at some point need to call my dealer and bring it in..... Again gets annoying that everything seems to be... Leave it for a day or 2.

Owe you a drink. Thanks ctandc!
Printed the info you provided and hope to be talking with local dealer/techs tomorrow...My Bronco is potentially arriving within a week on the home acreage! Now they can put me in line for the service attention as we settle the bloodletting in finance.

None of them have a rattle, until they do. Took about 1K miles for mine. I used the TSBs and service manual to mostly fix the rattle and windows caught on weatherstripping issues myself, after the dealer gave it a lazy attempt.

That's why I posted it for everyone to use. It's not a hard process. Thing is - the techs at the dealers are new to working on Broncos too. Just saying - I've been in their shoes, back when there was just paper manuals and if your were LUCKY the entire shop might have one or two copies of the new service bulletins and procedures for new vehicles.

I say lazy because I had to give them the TSB number before they would even give it a glance. They aren't hard to find, and like you said this isn't remotely hard one to fix. They used the two Broncos in their showroom to prove my issues were normal. No, their Broncos had the same issues mine did! Super lazy.
