Badlands Sport 2022 vs 2025 noise

[bstn rnr]

Thank you JP! I bought the backer rod you recommended and am planning on putting it in this weekend. I have a road trip scheduled next week and am excited to see if it helps!!

This is what it looks like with the rubber strip. Which can bought here:

Impressive. I wonder how, if you use it. Mine has rattles and squeaks all over in the side panels, roof and dash. That's not even accounting for any stuff I've stowed in the compartments that makes sound. Every now and then I take measures to minimize one if I can. Even the Ford brand rain deflectors added on have a nasty habit of coming unstuck at some points. In addition the aging brakes, shocks and imperfect tire balances are adding up to more vibrations and sounds as the car operates. While the day I test drove it, it was all silent and buttery smooth. It's not a complaint about the Bronco, just as observation about how things are.

Mine has around 27,000 miles. Not much for 3 years, I know. I use a second car depending on where I'm driving and what's more convenient in my driveway. But my service history so far into its life, both by age and mileage, is so much better than my prior Ford, which was a Mercury Mariner.

This is what it looks like with the rubber strip.

First part completed. Rubber strip will be delivered tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous to stick anything to my vehicle (won't even do bumper stickers). Is the sticky part closest to the windshield or roof? Any other pointers? I'm a shorty, so hoping I can get it straight.

The rubber strip I got had two lines of adhesive; one went on the windshield and the other the roof. As you can see in my pic, I didn't get it completely straight but it was close enough. I wouldn't worry about putting it on. You can always peel it back off.

This one looks like only half of one side has adhesive. Did I order the wrong one?

Thank you! Can you update your link on the previous message? I don't want someone to grab the wrong one. ?

Done. Good luck.

 

[Juliet]

Done. Good luck.

Thank you! Replacement coming tomorrow, just in time for my road trip Tuesday. I'll report my findings. ?

 

[Juliet]

Done. Good luck.

I dont think that was the correct one either. Its very narrow and rounded on the side without the adhesive.

Use blue painters tape as a guide to get it straight.
You can measure one quarter inch or whatever you need down from the top of the glass across the windshield, lay the tape as you go across measuring. Make sure it looks even. Lay the rubber strip along the tape, pulling off the backing paper as you go. Then pull off the tape. It will come out perfect.

Use a plastic ruler to measure so you don’t scratch anything. painters tape will come off easily without leaving residue.

I had a 2023 BSBL. I traded it for a 2025 BSBL Sasquatch. The highway sound feels more quite. The biggest difference is under acceleration the sound is a much lower tone. It is closer to a V8 engine sound than a 4 cylinder engine. This must be an artificial sound. My wife thinks it is noiser. I like the deeper tone better. The sound disappears when not accelerating. It would be nice if Ford let the sound to be adjusted .
