Window molding is raised on right rear passenger window.
What is your question?
Just bought a certified pre-owned 2017 Ford Edge. Driving on back roads and around town it's great!! Noticed driving on the highway that I hear wind noise coming from the rear passenger window.
Upon careful inspection my husband and I noticed the molding around the right rear window is not flush with the car...it's raised up a bit. Whereas the molding around the window on the left side is flush with the car.
Could the raised molding on the right side be causing this wind noise? Any idea what would cause the raised molding? If the noise is a result of the raised molding, how do we fix it?
Thank you so much!

How long has your 2017 Ford Edge had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2017 Ford Edge. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
That molding fits onto the door skin sheet metal with metal tension clips within the molding; you can simply press down on the entire molding to have it sit more flush to the body of the vehicle, and it should stay. If it doesn't, it will need to be replaced. The bad news is that moldings are not typically part of "certified" vehicle warranties -- so you may need to negotiate with your selling dealership to get it resolved if it won't simply press back into place.
This may or may not be causing "wind noise" -- it's worth rechecking after pressing it back into place, but many other possible causes for wind noise exist.
