    What is the service bulletin number?

    My windshield was replaced after the sneezing accident and it has been replaced TWICE due to the same issue you've experienced.

    When the windshield was replaced the second time, they also replaced the exterior A pillars (covers & all components), the chrome trim that sits at the base just behind the cowls, and the drain components at the roof line.

    The damned noise STILL persists!

    Being able to provide the actual service bulletin number to the dealership would make things quicker & easier.

    Erika- I don't know what the service bulletin number is, but I can find out for you.
    I definitely tested the windshield today on the way to my moms and no noise was heard! Woohoo! :Thumbsup:

    Ok Erika,
    Just got back from my mom's from Turkey day.

    My paperwork states the following:

    Perform Bulletin 51-05-07.
    Apply Butyl Tape under windshield trim strip.
    Road tested at 80-85 mph. Wind noise not present.


    Hope this helps!
    And yes, after I OVER tested this, it is definitely gone! :wink:
