Hi. The circled area is the area being flexed in the video. It’s right above the module.
Thanks for the suggestion on the dynamat. I’ll see what “sound deadening” the body shop uses and if it’s not enough, I’ll consider it.
The body shop put what seems to be red loctite along the seam in the photo and it has helped around 80%. I’m contemplating having them do the same to the seam where it attaches the metal above it near the rear glass too. They didn’t use any sound deadening either. Overall it’s a good sign it can be managed pretty easily.
. I was pretty fed up because when the car came back to the dealership, nobody checked the car and even the subwoofer and trunk liner were not reinstalled. It was so lazy.I had some creeking coming from the rear on mine. Turned out to be right side sway bar bushing was dry. Removed the clamp and used a silicone grease on the bushing. No more creek.Another Update. The “fix” did nothing
I called Ford North America and asked for help. They called the dealership and I dropped it off again today and replicated the creaking with my service adviser.
I’ll keep you posted. My guess at this point is it may be the rear glass that’s creaking.
Did your dealer find the problem and fix it or did you?
I found the problem and did the repair. I put the rear of the car on a set of ramps and had a friend bounce the car, traced the noise to the sway bar bushing.
That’s the funny thing too. What I thought was the area with the loctite, is just a weld area and nobody actually knows where they put it. The body shop didn’t specify and nobody seems To know at the dealership.
At this point, I need to find out how to try and initiate a buyback.
