I get a crackleing noise from my windshield area when driving above 70mph on the highway. It almost sounds like when your driving in heavy rain and the sound the rain drops make on the windshield. I tried checking the weather stripping around the windshield but it seems fine. Anyone have the same problem with their nnbs truck?

 

You have a leak...take water hose n go around it till you find link... they mostly around the door to windshield meet

 

Had the same problem, take your bug deflector off or two side tape the flap around the sides of the windshield there's nothing wrong with your truck just not wind tunneled with a bug deflector when designed

 

I'll try removing the bug deflector.

 

Please let me know if that works, I've got exactly the same noise. Sometimes it's not bad but sometimes pretty annoying. I love my bug deflector but might ditch it if that works for you.

 

Bingo..... I removed my bug deflector and no more noise. Thanks 07ccz71.

 

Thanks 07, and thanks for the confirming report, GONEB. Now I'll have to really think about taking that thing off.

 

I have no bug deflector, and no noise

 

If you want to run the bug deflector without the rattle noise, get some thin double-sided sticky tape, remove the weatherstrips on the sides of the glass(they go on with some screws), and reinstall them with the tape holding them to the glass. Works perfectly 100% of the time.

 

OK, rj, I'll send you my noise and keep the bug deflector. Deal?


That sounds like a PLAN! Thanks for the idea, AK, you just saved rj.
