rattling driver window

Post by viBert »

I have noticed that my driver side window rattles when its partly open. I have the vent visors (aka side window weather deflectors) installed to allow me to crack open the windows, so this is a pain.Has anyone got had this problem?

Ok, since I'm pretty new here, I did a search to see if anyone has ever brought up the issue with the front windows shaking and I only found these two posts, so I'm bringing it up again. Has anyone else had any problems with their windows? Mine seem to shake a lot when I'm on the expressway and they are open a couple inches. First I thought maybe just the driver side was doing it, but it's the passenger side too. I'm willing to let it go as a little quirk, but I'm just afraid it's going to damage the rollers in there or something. Maybe it's normal, but the windows on my Breeze never shook like this. Any ideas?

First I thought maybe just the driver side was doing it, but it's the passenger side too.I noticed the same exact thing with mine. If they're barely down, they rock back and forth at higher speeds. They can be wiggled back and forth with very little effort. Even the rear windows are doing this on my car. Also, they tend to make a bit of noise when closing any of the doors if the window is cracked slightly. Since all four are loose, either they're supposed to be this way, or my car has issues. I figured the ventshades would cut down on turbulence for the front windows, but no such luck.No leaks, and haven't noticed any wind noise so I'm just gonna guess this is just how they are... Perhaps there is a valid reason they have so much play.
