Rattling front windows

customknight · Jun 3, 2013

Hey guys, as title suggest my front windows are really rattling when in any other position than closed.
What is it and how can I fix it? Something to do with the guides?

Yep, the rubber guides inside the door can come loose & get trapped when the window is opened. Previous owner has probably removed them. Probably get some cheap from a scrappers.

Take the door cards off, as said above, the strip may well be in the bottom of the door.

Looks just like the rubber strips in the window runner that you can see when glass wound down

Well I've had my door in bits and its rattling at the bottom, as in the metal parts of the mechanism that go up and down in the guides is rattling forward and back within the guide.
No rubber bits to be seen anywhere

where are they supposed to be situated?

The strips are at the edges of the glass running top to bottom.
If you cant see them you will see a metal track that the glass runs up and down in (the rubber sits inside that)
