Fixing Window Rattles
Was thinking about getting new bumpers in the door:
Do you think that's the only thing it would be to stop the rattles? How much of a project is it to get in there after the door panel is off?

Other Items
Bumpers are one thing. Pull the panel and look at the window guides for one thing. Then sometimes other items come lose. You need to get it apart and wiggle things around to see what else is loose.

it could be the inner/outer window strips with the fuzz. i changed these on my 442 a few years ago and the rattling stopped. good luck. working with the glass in the door is fun no matter how you look at it

I am in the process of refreshing my door panels and decided to replace the bumpers. I haven't put the door panels on yet, but with the new bumpers, the glass rattling has reduced tremendously. I have adjusted them in far enough so that the windows go up and down fairly easily.
Good luck,

You definitely want to replace the anti-rattle bumpers. They're a lot of fun to wiggle in and tighten. Then you can replace the inner and especially the outter rubber strips- for a snug window and water proofing. Its actually a pretty simple and fun maintenance job that gives a lot of satisfaction when the rattles are gone...then you can start on the weatherstripping... and reset the windows......
