Front windows

Does anyone notice window rattle on the two front windows of the 2005? I notice it more on my driver side window and since it's cold out I only ever lower the window maybe 4 or 5 inches but it rattles like crazy and makes a lot of noise. The passenger window does it too I believe but I don't notice it as much. It's kinda weird and I never noticed it on my 2003 Vibe. Anyone else?

All 4 of my 04's windows rattle like crazy when they are even partially down. It is terrible. They either have to be all the way up or all the way down. Anything less is rattle-city!

I have on '03 and have never noticed window rattle. Every once in a while something rattles behind the glove box somewhere but it is intermitent so hard to find. Cranking the stereo usually fixes it!

I have it too... *sigh* Yes, it seems as if this is a "normal design characteristic" of the Vibe. All four of mine do it, they have since day 1... My buddy's Vibe, same deal. There were a few threads about the issue... Not sure if anyone has had this particular issue corrected.Now, there have been a few folks who have had issues with their windows and needed something or other replaced inside the door, or something had come loose... My friend's Vibe was one of 'em, his left front window would pop as it was raised... Can't remember what they replaced on his.I'll agree the rattling and windows rocking back and forth at highway speeds gets kinda annoying... I never bothered to have this looked at in my car, if one window did it I would, but all four? hmm... Like I said before, either this is how the car is supposed to behave, or I have four screwed up windows.

Yes my 04 has the same problem, I could never figure out why they were like that, the dealership told me it was a safty feature, I found that funny. After I installed my ventshades, the problem has gotten better but they still rattle a bit.

Yep, the ventshades helped mine too... Cut down on the turbulence quite a bit.

04 with no rattles from my windows either... but I have been made aware that a few members here do have this prob. tightening up the window channels and such ever fix the problem for anyone? like was the door panels off, car driven with the windows partly down to see where its loose?
