Sup guys, This is one of the little details I want to fix on my truck, the windows feel kind of loose and rattle on the doors.

Its even worst when the window is halfway open.:annoyed:

Any way to fit it?


Thanks!:icon_thumby:

It may be the seal at the bottem of the window frame on the door. It holds the window so it does not rattle. both me and my dad's trucks window rattles and are gonig to a new seal on. they are also can call anti rattle kits hoped I help.

Does it rock back and forth RSH? My Mustang has a rivet I need to replace, so it rattles. But I can also rock it back and forth a bit.

I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!



Take your pick, anyone of them will stop the rattling. :icon_rofl:


Seriously, does it move in and out OR forward and back?

That sounds like a good idea. I will try that when I take them apart to wire the power locks.

Thanks!

My windows rattle at highway speeds...now I might take a look at the rivets to see if they are doing what they're supposed to do...sometimes I can't even roll the window up all the way when I'm on the highway...very annoying...especially when I want to keep in a nice beluga fart that smells like a dead walrus...

I used bolts and lock nuts on mine.
It has been a year or two and I haven't had any problems.

Check out Rock auto. If you wish you can pay about 50.00 for the outside rubber window pieces from lmc, OR pay 15.00 from rockauto. That price is for each one. Ordered, came in a few days later, installed them, just like oem. Very satisfied with them. Lee
