My driver's side window rattles when it is down, but not when it's up. I took the door panel off to see if I could diagnose the problem, but I could not see anything awry. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how did you remedy it? Thanks in advance.

Mine rattles when up. Although since I went to the strip for the first time on Sunday it's been doing it less... maybe I bent the car into shape! lol!

The reason that you car rattles is that it is a Mustang...

Same issue on our 01. Randy, are these stabilizers behind the door panel? I mean, you aren't talking about the felt pieces on the inside and outside of the window are ya?
The window is fine when it's up, but if you close the door when it's half down or all the way down, the glass rattles...waiting for it to break one of these days! Any ideas?

Roll your window up about 1/2" and see if that stops it.

I fixed this in my car (for a little while) by sticking some padding on the inside of the door braces, the window had gotten to where it was resting on the inside of the door itself..

My window is AFU now though, the rear end of the window is off the track somehow, it raises too high and I have to push it back down to make the door shut right

I've answered threads like this dozens of times, same result is the rattling when the window is down, same answer i say: L brackets are either bent or loose.

too bad no one ever gets back afterwards and posts up if they did anything about it.
