Hi, Snubbers are usually the issue, or if the window doesn’t automatically drop 1/2” when closing the Door, then rise up into the Molding, I’ve got a few 08’s, unless they really dry rotted, seems unusual they failed. Check that automatic window function. Do the gaps line up correctly from the outside? 05’s-07’s has a water infiltration issue on the passenger side, if you type it into SNet, you’ll see what I mean, one came through the A pillar, another through the firewall into the Smart Junction box, another was a shoddy setup for coolant lines under the dash by Ford. Just want to save you from that misery if possible.
Post if you have any questions, happy to help!
Good luck!

Hi,
Excellent! You’re happy with your final results. All Cars have their own way of showing their very specific attitudes, but IMO Ponycars seem to have the sassiest of all. If they’re not truly happy, you won’t be either.
Liking your Car again speaks for itself!
Good luck!

IMRC’s, I’d removed mine. But Glad to hear that helped, Rob! Love 05’-09’ ‘Stangs- (well, love most ALL ‘Stangs)..Meet my 08’s, GT, Shelby GT500..Clutches were nice enough to need replacing within 2 weeks of each other, lol!
Most recently the GT500, Twin Disc 1,000HP McLeod, there, & a McLeod Street extreme (500-600HP) in my Wife’s GT.(IT’S Broken in). Smooth as glass, zero chatter, noise, pedal effort- identical!!
Mentioned Pony’s are Sassy, think they communicate if 2 Pony’s are grazing too close! Too smart for their own good!
Carbon buildup, potentially. STP May have freed it. Check your Vac. lines & scrutinize wires & your connectors if it repeats. People are usually come back STUNNED when the IMRC issue’s repaired, buildup over time causes power loses slowly, they forget how much power they had previously, lol!
We’re you recently hard on it, seemed to run great, then Codes popped when it was Colder a day or 2 later & you got on it a bit?
I hope not, but if it throws CEL’s again, watch for Code P0353, occurs when the PCM doesn't receive a valid ignition diagnostic monitor (IDM) pulse (a Flaky Coil).
If it repeats, whatever (if anything) occurs, feel free to sling questions.. Not that big of a Job. Best of luck! Cheers back at’chya!
