Default Windows Rattle

Both of my windows rattle when going over bumps or while on a rough road. It sounds like it is at the top of the window where the clip on the outside of the window is. I suspected it was the glass vibrating against the clips and have moved the clips in and out from the window glass but the vibration rattle continues. Any suggestions?

:cheers:

Yeah...turn up the music a little louder! :D

Seriously, though, I have the same issue with my passenger-side window. The glass rubs on the window clip...it's worse in cold weather...you could try putting some thin felt on the inside of the clip, or you could just live with it. I'm usually cranking the CD player when I'm driving, so it doesn't really bother me.

Cheers,

Steve

I only notice this if I had the window down and rolled them up after I have closed the door and started to drive. However, rolling up the window then openning and closing the door seems to stop the rattle. Doing this maybe helps the window seal better to help decrease the rattling. It annoyed me at first too. Now if I can only find the elusive squeak/rattle sound somewhere in the driver side dash.
