Defect
An incorrect primer was selected for bonding the quarter window glass molding at the rear of the rear door. Repeated thermal cycling generates stress in the molding, causing the adhesive bond to peel. This results in the molding lifting and producing abnormal noise. In the worst case, the molding may detach from the vehicle.
Corrective action
For all vehicles, replace the quarter window glass with a revised unit that uses a corrected primer for molding adhesion.
