window "rattle"

ok well definetly dong the tighten bolt thing tomorrow

what about lubing them up though???

 

Mine must have already been tight, because when I turned the ratchet, the head broke off the bolt Now I have to take the door panel off, and I don't know how I'm going to get it out

 

tightened mine up, solid as a rock now, thanks guys

 

Just did mine as well. No more window rattle.

 

glad i could help

 

I'm going to try this, but mine only rattles if window is up. So, I don't know if it will help. Anyone have a rattle when the window is up?

 

That's what mine was, but I broke the head off the bolt.

 

Yep, it really is that easy. I felt really stupid after taking apart my whole panel.

 

It took me a whole 5 seconds to fix this!! That rattle has been bothering me since I bought my truck!! Thanks guys!!

 

ya it's a rather unbelievably easy fix lol

 

I had the same problem. The screw was sitting at the bottom on the door.

Here's some info.

thought my window was rattling also and got real tired of it so i started tapping the door trying to see what it was. found the bolt, tightened it, good as new!

 

My window rattles if it is anything but completely open or completely shut. Annoying as can be. I tightened the bolt that worked for most folks to no avail. Does this sound to everyone else like the window trim that surrounds it is shot? It doesn't look bad and a replacement trim is around $100.

 

Could some one re post a picture of where the bolt is at? My driver window is also rattling, abs I can't seem to find the bolt, 2010 double cab pre runner

 

I only ask to repist the picture because when I click on any of the previous pictures it says that the picture is no longer in data base.... also it rattles when I let it down a few inches but when its around half way down it didn't rattle anymore, driving me crazy lol

 

Thanks shitroc.
I had a rattle and tightened the bolt you mentioned. Took care of problem.

 

Wanted to give this past a bump and add a pic as it has fallen off. It's really the only bolt there. Glad I googled it as I was about to take off the door panel. Such a easy fix. This is an 04 BTW

 

I was about to take my door a part. Glad I seen this thread, that bolt was really loose. Tighten it up and no rattle!

 

Sorry if there is another more current thread about this. I had the rattle like the rest of you, but when I went to inspect that bolt I noticed I don't even have one and it's just a vacant hole. I went to the passenger side and removed the bolt on that side (since I hardly use that window) only to go back to the driver side and notice whatever is inside the panel holding that bolt is no longer there. Does anyone know what's inside the panel holding that bolt in? Obviously the remedy is to take off the panel and replace or find the missing part but was wondering if anyone had this same experience.

Thanks

 

On my 95, the bolt screws into the bottom of the window channel to secure it inline up and down. Just imagine the edge of the window sliding up and down a channel for direction, the channel at the very bottom is what this screw holds. Mine would definitely move to one side or the other with the bolt out, in fact that's how I got to my door lock assembly to remove and lube and clean to keep from breaking the external door handle and yes you have to remove the door panel to access the bottom of the channel to hold it in line with the hole to put the screw back in place if it's shifted out of place.
