window rattles

Hey guys I was wondering if anybody has the problem with their window rattling when it is down, and if they fixed it how did you do this, it just annoys the hell out of me when i get in or out of the car and somebodys looking at you cause the car looks nice until they hear you shut the door and it sounds like a bucket of bolts!! thanks for listening to me rant

Re: window rattles

I had the same problem too, i just worked on fixing it today actually. you have to take off the interior piece and inside drip rail. Then there are two bracket like things that have fabric on them, loosen them up when the window is down and tighten them back when the window is snug up against them. it will fix your rattle problem.

Re: window rattles

Just be careful adjusting the felt covered window guides too tight!
The felt is prob. almost worn away or in poor shape and will scratch
up your glass.

Re: window rattles

My window scraper that is on the outside is all hard and stuff so it has scratched up my window pretty bad.
