DESCRIPTION

Some 1993 RX-7s may emit a whistling noise around the windshield area when being driven at high speeds. This whistling noise is caused by air being pulled through the space between the molding and the windshield.

REPAIR PROCEDURE





A repair seal foam kit has been established as a countermeasure. If a whistling noise is encountered on a vehicle(s) produced on or before May 31, 1992, install a repair seal foam kit into the vehicle's front windshield molding. Lift the windshield molding and slide the sealing foam into the space between the molding and the windshield. See figure.

Vehicles produced after May 31, 1992 are equipped with a modified front windshield molding. The sealing foam is attached to the molding.
