Rear MIC window squeak

[AKBronc49]

First 5 months my MIC top was quiet as a church mouse. I slowly developed a squeak at the rear. I'd read some others had this issue and silicone on the rubbers stopped it. I tried that on every rubber mating surface to no avail. With the window flipped open and rear door closed its gone, so I'm pretty sure I've isolated it, but curious how to kill it. Any input would be fantastic.

It’s the silicone. Use what ford recommends.

Hi there. This window squeak concern doesn’t sound like something we want you to experience with your Bronco. Could you please send us a PM with your VIN and the name and location of your Ford dealer? I'd be happy to look into how I can assist you on my end.

There is some type of squeak on mine as well, I am not real sure where the sound comes from but it's coming from the back for sure. I hear it mainly any time we go over a bump or rough parts of a road. I need to climb my big rear into the back and let the wife drive around and see if I can find the source.

Total speculation: Look at the outer back corner where the mic top contacts the body, above the tail light, where the body curves. I don’t have my Bronco yet but if memory serves we saw some rubbing at this location. You may have to lift up the rear section to see if their are any whiteness marks.

good luck.

I do have a spot on the driver side, the factory paint protection didn't stick, so I replaced with a couple pieces I had of 3m stuff.

What gets me though is if I open the window and drive all the noise is gone. I'm going to try the other silicone listed and see what it does.

Currently running topless though.

I appreciate it, I'm going to go at it myself and see if I can't figure it out before involving my dealer.

As the OP did, lift your rear window and see if it stops. If it does apply the krytox lube I linked above to all the rubber gaskets. If it doesn’t look into the rear fender rubbing on hardtop issue I detailed here.
