Wiper Cowl Vibrations
Crown Victoria Wiper Cowl Vibrations The problem: This 2000 crownvic has a buzzing sound on the highway coming from the windshield wiper cowl on the driver's side near the power brake booster and cruise control servo. See the location shown below: Difference shown between two models: For some reason, most of the 2000 model year crownvics have half of the weather stripping under the windshield wipers missing. Here's a 1998 hood insulator next to the one from this 2000 crownvic And here's a 1998 crownvic with a full sized hood bumper for comparison And the 1998 crownvic with the half length 2000 hood bumper installed Having half a hood insulator missing like this eliminates all downwards compression on the windshield wiper cowl from the hood. This allows part of the windshield wiper housing cowl to vibrate and make noise when you're on the highway with lots of air moving by this part Sometimes, you'll find 1992+ crownvics with the entire hood bumper asse
