Jeep Grand Cherokee wind noise, Windshield cowl replacement, Windshield noise issue, 55079197ah

[@rah2287]

Just bought my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee used and after 2 months this started happening. Your channel and this video was a great help. Outstanding.

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello thank you I am glad it helped. Very annoying noise.

[@rah2287]

@ Indeed it is.

[@brookenitterhouse7169]

I can’t thank you enough. I am 45 year old woman who has never done anything but look under the hood of my car… and thanks to you- i extracted a dead mouse and put my car back together . You saved me thousands of dollars at the dealership. THANK YOU!

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello you are very welcome. I am glad I can help. Thank you

[@ricklee9473]

We have been enduring this problem for a while . Ran some cheap duct tape over the cowl seal ( srriously desintigrared) just to confirm. Put to the highway , and quiet as a mouse - ordering the part immediately. Good work friend , Its the wifes vehicle , so she thinks you're wonderful.

[@ExtremDIY]

You are very welcome. It drove me crazy for a bit trying to figure it out. Did the same thing with duct tape and yes the sun destroyed it very fast till finally I pulled the trigger. Glad it helped and enjoy the silence.

[@Eldergym]

Wow. Should have googled this sooner. Just spent $250 for the dealership to tell me the cowl was warped and it would be $900 to fix. I told the service guy I would google it and fix it myself. Thanks for the tutorial. Extreme DIY.

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello you are welcome. Drove me crazy till I had to change it. Finally much better ride without that horrible noise. Thanks

[@Bekim8310]

I had that same problem. A new cowl is over $350 so what I did was I put black duct tape along the edge of the cowl where it meets the windshield! Works great and hardly noticeable, and the best part is no more annoying noise!

[@ExtremDIY]

That noise is terrible. I did that and the sun dried out the tape and was a pain to remove. Mine was all broken up anyway so I wanted to replace anyway. I did a Jeep with silicone and worked ok but very messy to do. Also did one with a thin foam strip with one sided 3M tape and worked very well also. Glad you got it resolved I hated that noise. Thanks

[@TroutWest]

I did the same thing, it does solve it.

[@chrisharrell5945]

Thank you so much for taking the time to highlight this issue and where the noise is actually coming from and for making the video. I had suspected it was the cowl because mine is deformed and sitting off windshield, in some areas close to an 1" off. A lifesaver for me. If there's one thing that can send me over the edge, it's a consistent unwanted and intrusive noise.

[@southfloridamtb8425]

You are very welcome.. it was driving me nuts I couldnt take it any more. Thank you

My Overland has been making this noise for the past year.. !! UGHHH I've been going nuts trying to find it..... THANK YOU !!!!!!

[@ExtremDIY]

You are welcome... It drove me crazy for a bit too I couldn't figure it out. At times it sounded like it was coming from the top of the windshield so I used duck tape and isolated the issue by putting the tape in different sections till it was the cowl not the top. Its kind of like you put up with it for a long time. then you fix it and get mad at yourself for waiting so long to replace it. Once you fix it your car ride will be magical again. Thanks

[@dinolisi9812]

I’m having the EXACT same noise on my 1995 Honda Prelude when I run about 70-80 mph on the interstate. I was going crazy thinking it was my fuel system, spark plugs, etc. Going to check this out tomorrow. Thanks so much for the video!

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello you are welcome hope its that. If needed try some heavy duty tape to make sure is the windshield cowl or sometimes could be small holes or loose windshield trim. Let me know how it goes so others can benefit. thank you

@@ExtremDIYSmall holes where if you don’t mind me asking?

[@ExtremDIY]

@@mattlutz1105 Hi sometimes windshield trim gets loose and make noise. I have seen bad installations on windshields that have some small holes and they make noise. Add tape section by section so you can narrow down the problem. Any loose sections of the cowl are usually the problem.

Thank you that noise is driving me nuts. I change it already cant take it any longer.

[@mattharvell9494]

A cheap and easy fix is to install weather stripping under the old cowling rubber on the windshield. It worked on my 2011 GC

[@jonathanherrera7619]

That's a good idea also. I tried silicone on my sons and it kind of worked but not 100%. It was very messy job though. Mine was broken up bad so I wanted to replace it. Thank you

[@toolmania2055]

Thank you that noise its been driving me crazy now I can replace that horrible design they did.

[@tricky4g63]

Thanks for the informative video! I think you definitely fixed it but before I go spending $200-300 on a replacement cowel I would remove it and bend those retainer clips out a bit for a tighter fit and get some 3m double sided trim tape and attach that seal to the glass underneath the weather strip

[@ExtremDIY]

That is a great idea. I tried to silicone my friends which had the same problem and it fixed the issue but was so messy.

[@johnward8155]

Jus this today on wife's 2015 GC. I did purchase the part since the area where the rubber meets the windshield was pretty brittle. Couple of things I did differently was I didnt need to pry the wiper arms with a pry tool. Just lift the portion of the arm as you would to change the wiper blade. This releases the tension and the entire arm comes off easily. Other item was I did remove and install new one through the engine bay area as I did not want to chance scratching windshield with the new one as there are metal clips on the cowl. I did install in sunlight as I wanted the rubber that meets the windshield to expand. No buckles what so ever. Thanks for posting and sorry to hear about the accident.

[@ExtremDIY]

I am glad is done now you will enjoy a quiet ride. It drove me nuts for sure... One of mine was loose but the other one had a little rust in it and had to be pulled but it wasnt bad. Cars are so expensive now even used ones are crazy high in price lets hope I can find something. Thank you

[@Richking213]

[@relicrecoveryspecialist16]

Funny how mine never ever made this noise until they replaced my window on my 2015 GC Overland

[@ExtremDIY]

Hi if they get a bit brittle with the sun it can start doing that super annoying noise. You can try this weather strip instead of replacing the cowl and it might work for you. Here is the link I found it the other day looking for something else. thanks amzn.to/3Z4QLmP

[@markmaldonado3247]

Thank you mine is driving me nuts and couldnt figure it out till I saw your video.

You should have replaced it with the 2014+... they went to a harder plastic and it doesn't warp like this one does. You'll have the same issue again with this one, I went through it once already.

[@ExtremDIY]

Thank you for the info do you have that part number for the 2014. Thanks

[@phillipm1039]

Same issue on my 2014 I removed the cowling piece and with a heat gun just heated up the edge and bent it in towards the windscreen and problem solved for nil cost. Admittedly mine wasn't degraded as much as this one.

[@Point_Particle]

For anyone wondering if the much cheaper right-hand drive 55079199AH version can be used instead of the $250+ 55079197AH part...it's not a direct replacement, according to my research. The windshield wipers are opposite, between left & right-hand drive Grand Cherokees, so the holes in the cowl would be on the opposite sides. Now...could you drill holes in the RHD part for LHD wipers? Seems like you could. The part appears symmetrical. You'd have to cover the RHD wiper holes. And the vent would be on the opposite side, meaning the wiper motor and everything else on the driver's side firewall would be exposed to water from rain or washes. I guess you could cover that vent, also, and make one on the passenger side. Is all that worth saving $150+, and would it be an odd thing to have to explain when you sell or trade in the vehicle?

Will also happen usually right after a windshield replacement. If the soft edge that is against the glass isn't degraded and the cowl isn't ridiculously warped. you can remove the cowl clean the underside of that concave flap and run a strip of 3m double sided tape. -glass guy-

Thank you. Let me know if the noise stopped when you replace it.

[@narfdog23]

@@ExtremDIY I haven’t driven at high speeds but the rubber is flush against the windshield so I’m sure there won’t be any noise anymore. It looks so much better than the old piece of crap I had that was from factory. Do you know if there’s anything we could put on the rubber to keep it from wearing out?

[@ExtremDIY]

I was told once when I called the dealer for pricing that there was a piece that Jeep made to either improve or prolong the life of the cowl but I never went to see it. I did look for it online but didnt find anything. I will go next week and try to find out what part it is and share it. I know the newer Jeeps have a redesigned version of it but I was told it wont fit ours. My friend has the 2020 Grand Cherokee and his is much nicer. Will keep you posted on my findings.

[@narfdog23]

@@ExtremDIY thank you sir. The Grand Cherokee community will greatly appreciate your video. Yeah let me know what you hear at the dealer. I’ll dig online and see if I find anything to and I’ll let you know. I saw your video on the brakes also. I wanna buy those rotors and brakes. How did you like them?

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello I love the look and the braking... but there is a grinding feel to them and the front rotors were replaced and still feel the grinding. I spoke to my old school mechanic and mentioned that the pads are very inexpensive and if I change the pads it should solve the issue. I will replace them and post it cause even though it stops much better than the factory ones, its annoying to feel the grinding. He told be I need better ceramic pads. I did this in my previous SUV and worked amazing but it was a different brand brakes. If that works you can buy just the rotors cause they look nice and buy the pads from the local auto parts of premium quality. Keep you posted.

Hello I did see that part number before but I believe its a cover or something but not the entire cowl. That is what the dealer told me it was. You might want to verify with the dealer first about that if you look as the pictures online the black part which is kind of misleading shows entire cowl.

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello no thats too much. copy and paste the part number above and you can find it cheaper. Try to get it close to your home that way shipping is not too bad or the dealer. Hope this helps

[@JoesGarageProductionsLLC]

I am also in the south FL area, with a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee with this same problem. Going to be tackling this repair soon. Nice video! Doesn't seem too bad. Did the gap between the windshield and the new part close up eventually?

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello the gap was better after installing the new one but not 100% but the noise was gone. Looks like a design defect on these cowls. They redesigned it a couple of years after which has no gap but looks like perhaps the entire unit and the receiving part were changed so you cant use the new design on the older models as I was told. You might want to double check it with the dealer just in case. Hope it helps I was so happy to get rid of the noise. thanks

[@ShaneKelly]

Does anyone think you could add a bead of to keep the cowl sitting on the windshield?

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello I tried to do that with my friends 2016 Jeep and it didnt stick well due to the rubber part on the cowl. There were some sections I cleaned very good with acetone and did stick. It was a messy job. Maybe if you get 3M double sided tape might kind of work. Added between the rubber and the glass.

Hello, my friend. this is the question what do you need to ask you in some water coming in the windshield I have any problem effect with electric because I have a problem with the plastic outside in the window like you showing in the video

[@southfloridamtb8425]

Hello not sure if I understand. Are you getting water inside the car? This plastic will not seal the windshield from water. If water is coming into the car you might have to check different things. If the windshield was replaced before they could had missed some silicone and water is coming through there. Also if you have a sunroof, there is a water pipe goes through the car that sometimes gets clauged and water comes in the car. That piece that I removed wont affect the water into the car. Let me know if you find the problem. Thank you

[@karztoolz3789]

Hello I have seen that. I am in south Florida and get no snow here but I am not too far from the ocean so when I purchase any used car I inspect it for areas where rust can grow. I wash it if need and use spray undercoat on the weak areas like welds to avoid any future issues.

[@jay19be3]

Awesome video thank you! I have this same noise and it only started after getting my windshield replaced. Do you think they may have damaged the cowl during replacement?

[@marcotarafa9923]

Hello its possible. If your cowl is not broken or brittle on the rubber piece try to heat up on the parts that are sticking out from the windshield and see if it helps. Just be careful with the heat gun and not to deform it. Also check both ends of the rubber piece on the side to make sure its glued to the fenders. It comes with a double sided take so if its old then it wont stick. You can replace the tape of maybe if your are brave put silicone. These pieces were poorly designed and even new comes a bit deformed. I tried putting silicone on my friends Jeep and it worked ok but was extremely messy and time consuming. Hope it helps Thank you

[@lucast3006]

Thank you so much

[@ExtremDIY]

You are very welcome

Will that noice crack the widow? I have that issue in my 2020 dodge journey suggestions?

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello it wont crack the windshield. Does the car have any warranty? You can put a thin foam with adhesive between the windshield and rubber and it might do the job for you. I did one Jeep with silicone but didnt stick well. You can also put tape as a quick repair before replacing it. Hope it helps

[@swchannel6147]

Yes, eventually it will become cracked but only after you punch it from being frustrated with the wind nose

[@southfloridamtb8425]

I feel you I was going nuts with it too. I put duck tape at first but the sun dried it up and then it was a pain to remove the glue so I decided to buy the darn thing. It was worth it after to be able to enjoy the silence.

[@15DurangoRT]

I would take that back after seeing that bow in it.

[@CorbinMusso88]

It sure would be nice if that cowl wasn’t almost 300 dollars, plus almost 200 dollars shipping. I have this problem in my wife’s jeep and she is very diligent to remind me that it “does that thing” every time it “does that thing.”

[@ExtremDIY]

LOL.. yes I can feel the pain I have one of those too. Have you tried your dealer it might be cheaper to get it there than online. thanks

Hey what camera are you using to record this video?

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello I am using the Hero8 GoPro. I also use it for my mountain bike videos and it has great stabilization. Thank you

[@ChrisMcGhee89898787]

Could this cause water to leak behind the dash?

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello no I dont think so its a separate piece. If you have a water leak it can be different thing like AC or the sunroof line. Hope you find the issue. Thank you

[@15DurangoRT]

You need to invest in a set of plastic pry tools. They're not that expensive.

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello I will look into getting a set a must have.

[@RP-nc5ev]

Thanks

[@V.Z.69]

YES. Been putting plastic bottles under the hood to put pressure on different things to see what muffles the sound. I did notice mine are cracked, but never thought it would have been that. Thank you so much. What a POS! *PN: 5507 9197 AH - 001* Ordering now! 4:42 Yes, definitely crap part, cracked all to hell. I was like, what the heck?!

[@ExtremDIY]

Lol oh yeah its rediculous how they design this crap. If you get next to a newer one like 2017 and up you will see its the same Jeep but different cowl. They fixed the issue but doesnt fit the earlier models I was told.

[@FDchief904]

I have the same issue on a 2014 Summit. Does anyone have a part # for that year? TIA

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello mine was a 2015 Summit and I used this part number 55079197ah if you buy at the dealer they will check with your vin number to make sure its correct. thanks

[@michaelhorn4540]

Mine only does it at 70 with the A/C on

[@ExtremDIY]

I couldnt take the noise any longer... had to change the cowl..if its minor you might get away with some foam under the lifted areas.

[@strongnsavage]

Can anyoneeeeee link me to the part for a 2011 Grand Cherokee? PLEEEASEEE

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello this is the part I used in mine 55079197ah for the windshield cowl. this should be the same for 2011-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee. If you are buying at the dealer they will check the vin just in case. thanks hope it helps

[@chrisharrell5945]

That sucks that a brand new one wouldn't fit tightly and obviously made so cheaply. What the hay is wrong with the order of the era? - everything you buy now days is defective and made soooo cheaply. So irritating. Take me back to days when craftsmanship was paramount

[@ExtremDIY]

Hello its a struggle I fight with all the time with all these parts. I believe the newer version on the 2017 and up looks like they made a mayor improvement on the design but as I was told it wont fit 2016 and less models. Yes its sad that the new one still has a small gap. Lets hope for the best at least its not making the nasty sound any longer. thank you

[@chrisharrell5945]

@@ExtremDIY if you don't mind me asking, where did you get that one from? I'm having a time trying to get my hands on it....where they don't want to charge me $230 just to ship it. SMH

[@ExtremDIY]

Actually this one was given as a gift but my friend works at the Ford dealer and he just ordered for me. Not sure if it was from the Jeep dealer were he was working prior or a local distributor. I was looking around before and my local dealer wanted like $255 for the piece here is South Florida which I think is the retail price for the piece. I have a link there under the video its like $206 dollars for the part but not sure on the shipping cost. Thank you hope you find it at a good price.

[@richardr5888]

@@ExtremDIY Thanks for the video. Mine isn't making noise YET, but it is starting to separate and it has severely faded (I'm also in South Florida). I know it's only a matter of time before the cracking starts even though I've tried different protectants. I've seen several down here that have started cracking and it's not pretty. As far as the newer ones, yes they are different and one of the differences is the screen portion has a better design. I can't tell you how many small leaves get stuck under the plastic grill that covers the mesh and its a chore to get them out. I have a new hate for ficus trees! Speaking of heat, be prepared for the rubber on your volume knob to start separating and start feeling gooey. This also happens a lot and they don't make replacement knobs- you have to buy the whole panel which is ridiculous. Or you can buy cheap aluminum knob overlays on Amazon or ebay and call it a day. I love my Jeep, but FCA makes for tough love. It's been over a month and I'm still waiting for my replacement headrest to come into the dealer. The active headrest deployed while I was driving and scared the crap out of me. It's yet another design issue. The cheap plastic design that holds the locking pin can get brittle (I'm thinking another heat issue) and crack releasing the headrest forward rapidly. No recall yet, but it's so common there is a TSB for the dealer to replace it at no charge. I'm not bashing Jeep, I still love mine, it's just stuff you have to accept if you love it that much.

[@ExtremDIY]

@@richardr5888 Hello you are welcome. You know I remember someone from parts department mentioning a remedy to this issue kind of like a kit they sell to put over or under the rubber part. They never gave me a part number but could be an option to ask about. I could be wrong but I thought I understood he said that. I have a black olive tree next to my car so yes I do feel the pain with the leaves. I even purchased a battery blower so I can use it almost every day to blow the driveway and the car.

[@hroachv07]

Can someone post the part name / number

[@southfloridamtb8425]

hello here is the part number I used on my 2015 Grand Cherokee. 55079197ah
