rattling problems

Im a bit of an audiophile, so ive upgraded my speakers and installed subs. but there are a few things rattling and im wondering if there are some easy ways around them. first is the driver and passenger windows themselves. when they are closed they rattle a lot with lower frequency bass, but when open aren't as bad. second thing i noticed is the driver t top rattles slightly. im planning on replacing all wheather stripping soon, not sure if this will help the problem?

Re: rattling problems

Are windows electric or manual?

The T-tops will need weather stripping, or rig up some kind of dampener, rubber or thick foam.

Re: rattling problems

I'd look at adjusting the window fuzzy support things. Sigh, I don't know their name, but there's 2 at the top of each door. They put tension on the window. I had rattles from the Windows too, and readjusting those cured it.

Door Window Glass Guides guys!

Also, if you put subs in the well in the rear, that gas tank shield under the rear can be rattling also. Use rubber and aluminum washers to secure it. It helps.....I know.
