2nd attempt to fix noise coming from windshield, cowl was replaced, but problem still persists. Sounds like windows are open inside when air is off, all windows are shut. Speeds reach 55 and over, loud squeek coming from lower windshield area. When I spoke to mechanic he mentioned that this was other Ford vans with same problem, but no recall has been issued, why? it doesn't seem safe in this vehicle knowing that there is air coming in under the windshield.
