Windows Rattling -- Help!

jasonh328 · Oct 21, 2008

I have an '07 GT w/ `18k mi. on it. Durning the past few weeks, the windows have begun to rattle. Both windows rattle, open or closed, but worse when open. When I drive over bumpy pavement or R/R crossings, it seems so bad, it is as though the windows might break. Any help would be appreciated.

Unless you've been driving often over railroad tracks for the past 18K miles...I would take it in to your dealership and they can have their bodyshop take a look at it...maybe all they need are a few adjustments.

Or unless you (or your friends and relatives) like to close your doors by pushing on the top of the window...

Those windows were never designed to take side pressure like that IMO and they're a great target for unknowing or uncaring passengers that don't feel like using the door handle...

Yeah, it says to tell the customer to b!t¢h-slap whoever has been closing the door by using the window...then proceed to collect $1000 from them for parts and labor to rebuild their window regulator assemblies.

You could also try adjusting the windows. It's in the manual, you just hold up the button for a few seconds and it readjusted the closed height.

I was actually talking about the TSB that I've attached to this post in PDF format lol.

I doubt it is from closing the doors with the windows b/c both windows began to have this problem at the same time and I rarely have a passenger, with the exception of my wife, who knows how to close the door properly. I recently had to replace the seals around the windows, b/c the passenger side one was letting some water through. Also my dash has begun to rattle. On the driver's side, I can apply pressure to it and it will stop until I let go. I am unsure if this is true with the other side.

Yeah, I'm a sarcastic jerk...sorry...

Thanks for the TSB though. I don't have problems with my windows but I do have a slight buzz on the drivers side that I thought was the speaker; your TSB might fix it!

Now to find a "Rotunda squeak and rattle fix kit"...OK, I'm being sarcastic again
I think I'll use some leftover Dynamat.

Sounds like the much dreaded "trip to the dealership" is in order...
