WARNING: use adhesive. The weather strip is slightly smaller than the opening. So it will not properly cover all 4 corners & you'll have a little leak. Also, it is possible to insert the defrost connectors 180 degrees in the wrong position. Pay attention to orientation prior to removing them as it is very hard to remove if connected "flipped."
Great video, Sir. Unfortunately, some of these weather stripping SKUs are on national backorder. They show as available online at Ford dealers but I''ve had my order cancelled multiple times from different locations, lately. My Covid economy hack: get 3/8" surgical tubing, fish tape and silicone spray. Thread the tubing through your old gasket. Heads up though: the hatch glass may be a bit harder to close afterwards but if you turn the catch out by half a turn or a turn, it will work just fine. Good luck.
I was wondering if something like this could be done. Fixing up my old 2002 Expy that hasn’t been used in years and noticed water leaks through the top of the lift glass gasket, so wondering if there was a way to “rejuvenate” the gasket in lieu of buying a new one as I cannot find it anywhere. Will give this a try!
Having a similar noise on my 02 navigator, i suspected this was the issue, and since I have a sub in mine it’s extra annoying. Going to try this and hopefully it fixes it.
You will be astonished at how well it works. You may notice other noises after you fix it, but nothing as bad as that liftglass rattle! Make sure to share this video with all of your friends!

Let me know how it turns out. As you can see from the comments it works almost every time.
Thanks Ed for the video. I am having the same issue on my expedition, now i know how to fix it.
