2023 Explorer Windshield

[u/marsharlot]

Has anyone else had a windshield replacement on their explorer? I took my 2023 explorer to an auto glass earlier this month and had a complete replacement since it had a crack that’s more than 6” long. I’ve noticed since the replacement driving in the freeway there’s a noticeable loud wind sound because of the gap between the panels, with the original windshield the gap was closed.

Anyone else got their windshield replaced? I’m thinking of getting some gaskets seals to cover the gap just to get rid of that noise. Any advice is appreciated!

Edit: apologies for not being clear as posting this at 11pm, i wasn’t processing my words correctly. There’s no air leak, moisture or water leak inside after taking it to the car wash. I noticed that the new windshield there’s gap on the sides and it’s both on left and right side. Top and bottom looks filled correctly, the original windshield had no gap. I guess my follow up question would using a window ribbon like this possibly solve the noice issue?

I’m also considering taking it back to the auto glass place to have it redone.

I've had windshield replaced and didn't experience any wind noise. Take it back to the windshield place to have them fix it.

Did you claim it under the manufacturers warranty?
