Gary Lewis Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 Also, when I went out briefly yesterday I noted that the sound was more from the front, like the windshield wipers. And they are odd looking. Hmmmm.... Take them off and go for a test drive! That would tell the tale. But I wonder if can they go any lower? And are there other wipers that might cause less noise? Also you can see the trim that is missing - might it cause noise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 Gary, regarding the lock rods, what part is E0TZ-1022135-B? Jim - Are you laughing at me for not realizing. I hadn't even thought about it, actually. David - That's the rod goes from the lock cylinder to the door latch on the left door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David - That's the rod goes from the lock cylinder to the door latch on the left door. Ok, made some progress but haven't taken it out to see if it makes a difference. First, I installed the windshield trim and lowered the wipers. But note how much of an angle the driver's wiper is at as opposed to the passenger's wiper. I looked in the catalog and the left and right wiper arms are the same. So I pulled that arm and put it beside another one I had. Note the difference in angle at the end. So I put the one on that has the same angle as the passenger's arm. I'll have to go for a ride to see if it makes a difference, but it can't hurt.

Gary, I'm laughing because you sent me a new upper left moulding when mine blew off after I had my windshield replaced. I had complained how loud it was. Obviously it was not tight and wind was getting underneath it. Get yourself a pair of later model J-hook wiper arms. There are a LOT more blade options if you go that way, and they are inexpensive. I think I was under $20 delivered for the pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the wiper arms, I'm not sure I know what years to go looking for. Do you know? This pair from Amazon is quite a bit more at $52. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That link should take you to my 1995 F350 filter. So that's probably the same as a '94. Just ate - your turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nothing Special Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I had forgotten that, Jim. So it does make a difference! On the wiper arms, I'm not sure I know what years to go looking for. Do you know? This pair from Amazon is quite a bit more at $52. I know my '97 F-250HD has the J-hook style (but be careful with the '97 model year since the F-150 and F-250 share nothing with the F-250HD, F-350 and F-Superduty). For what it's worth, I got a set from a junk yard and cobbled them up to work on my Bronco. They do work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
