window "rattle"

my driver side window rattles when i lower it

are there clips that commonly break on these things?

what about lubing them up? my passenger side goes up and down fairly slowly

any links for removing the door panels?

thanks

 

Mine does the same...Interested to find out what the remedy is.

 

there is a bolt half way down the door(the part of the door that would be in the door jam) that sometimes come loose on me and when it does i find i makes the window rattle especially when i close the door and the windows down. when i tighten it up the rattle goes away completely. hope this helps

 

X2 on that fixed mine last week. When you take apart the door their is a clip in top corner closet to the front of the truck. This looks like a button. In the middle of this clip their is a "spike", you must remove the spike bofre you can get the button off. I just broke this clip and ordered a new one from the dealer for a couple of bucks. I don't even know if you can get it out with out destroying it. Oh buy the way this is on a 1997 sorry I don't know what your door looks like.

 

i'll try this tonight

any more info on taking the door card off to lube up the sliders or anything else?

 

I think in 02 your panel should pop off without needing any new clips or anything. Mine does for 03. But don't take the panel off if you don't need to.

 

Good find. I need to do this.

 

nice. i noticed my truck was doing the same last week. it would rattle at a certain point when i lower it. im not doin this myself, i'll bring it in for warranty work

 

Haha, it took me 3.73 seconds and 1.5 calories to fix it. A single bolt on the edge of the door.

 

so you didnt have to pop off your door panel???? mine rattles when the window is completely rolled down...am curious on how i can fix this...

 

Mine only does it when the window is just cracked open, half way down or more... All the way down and up I don't hear it rattle. I'll have to see if the bolt trick works, if not then I'll see about taking the door panel off.

 

Mine rattled only when it was all the way down also. I tightened the bolt on the door and it fixed it. Haven't done anything besides that. If you take the panel off you will have to take off the plastic liner under it and it's still hard to see much under there.

 

Can someone get a picture up here to help me? I looked tonight in the dark but couldnt find it. Might be right in front of my nose...

 

Wow, I was looking in the complete wrong direction. Thanks!

 

thanks for the info going to def try this out

 

Anyone have the torque specs for this bolt? Lol

I always found that squeaking noise to be quite annoying! I will have to do this to mine! Good find thanks yawl!

Ha torque. When it's tight it's good enough. No reason to get out a breaker bar and jump on it.

 

Well all-right now! I have been troubled with the terrible noise when shutting the door with the window down. I was like others and was about to take the door panel off to see what was lose when I ran across this thread and wa-la!!! Tightened up the bolt and no more rattle when shutting the door with the window down! Sounds like a new truck door shutting. Thanks very much shitroc for the quick and easy fix!!! This is what this site is all about...people sharing knowledge!

 

Mine rattles when its about three quarters to half way down but only when its going down. anyone els have this problem, could that loose bolt be my problem?
