Bronco TSB and SSM Notices

[Ksjrb03]

In surprised this one doesn't have it's own thread....
Nobody considering fixing it themselves?

There are other threads on this. I posted this TSB and service manual procedure in at least 3 other threads. Several of us have fixed it ourselves. Not sure why anyone would be afraid of breaking the glass, its not a complicated procedure.

Edit: When I say fixed, I really mean its better but not perfect. This procedure also includes the window getting caught on weather-stripping issue, which are related.

Go here:

https://www.motorcraftservice.com/

Create an account (it's not linked to your Ford account).

Login, click on SERVICE INFO

Click the dropdown to select 72 hour access (it's $21.xx) Monthly is like $300 and yearly is over $2K

Checkout, pay - done.

It gives you ALL ford technical info for any vehicle made from '94 and up. You can access by VN or year / make / model.

You can't print the entire manual at once, but you can go through and use 'print to pdf' to save all the pages / docs you want. I've done it for every Ford I've owned for quite a while.

Once you've paid, log in to the same site, click on MY SUBSCRIPTIONS. You'll see this:

Click on the blue link (All VEHICLE LINES...)

You'll see this:

Enter the VIN or select the year / model etc.

The manuals are under the WORKSHOP Tab. This is the same resource the dealer techs use.

How many pages is the service manual?

No clue. It's A LOT.

For the TSB, it recommends tipping the glass into the stripping by swinging out the bottom 2 bolts...
Wouldn't it be better to move the entire window track inwards the same, too and bottom?

The goal is to stop the rattle, so its moving the source away from what its rattling on. Pretty simple, makes more sense when you take everything apart. This causes issues with the window and weather stripping upon opening. At least on most of my windows it did. Hard to dial in and fix both issues, which is why I say it's better but not perfect. Its a shitty design.

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.

I have both the window issue and the rear passenger window is getting caught on the weather stripping. Do you happen to have those sections/directions? I see the window rattle instructions but not the weatherstripping issue. Thanks in advance

The directions for the power window adjustment (front and rear). The directions for the adjustment for the glass itself is already posted in this thread (1st page).

I’ve posted several times. Here’s one in a thread with good pics and details we went through when we figured out how to DIY this.

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

Thank you

Another note of thanks. Made an appointment for the partially open window rattle. Worried they might even shatter it was so bad on a logging road.

For example - see

SSM 50711

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.

I've attached the factory procedure to perform the adjustment

This is good stuff. TY! Where can I get that full manual from? I'm needing the steps to align the doors. Both front doors are rubbing the paint away in the door jambs so I'd like to correct that then fix the windows from sticking. I've already attempted to have the windows relearn their position but the still stick.

Post #30 of this thread. I posted directions how to get access to print / save the full Ford Service manual.

Heat shrink works as well. What's interesting is the Ford TSB fix has the tech use grease on each locator pin (one at at time) until the noise goes away. Then they REPLACE the affected latch or locator pin assembly.

I did heat shrink and all the pins today its amazing sound is totally gone. Simple easy fix

Yep, your right.
If it was that simple there wouldn’t be a problem. Obviously the design has some major flaws. Between the windows rattling and the window indexing issues I have seen on the Bronco’s it seem to be across the board.
I would be very surprised if any adjustments will correct theses deficiencies for the long run.
Kinda sad to think Ford can’t even do windows right in 2022.
They have no excuse.
