Window "tick" solved

I was getting a tick from the passenger side when I went over expansion joints, potholes. Not really a rattle, sounded like when a tiny rock hits glass on the freeway. Treated all the window tracks with Shin-Etsu, gone. Windows now move quicker, also did all the door seals. Discovered this stuff from the S2000 forums 10 years ago, been a fan since.

 

It could be the plastic on the A pillar. Known issue.

That ^^^ in cold weather ... it will be back.. but good tip on the shin-Etsu stuff... gonna give it a try. One of my windows squeeks going down at times.

 

Appreciate the feedback, went down that path awhile ago. Confident it was the window.

 

Link to said known issue?

 

Here's one. Just do a google search.

Alright, thanks for the link. Different issue than what I've been hearing in mine.

 

I had a ticking noise on a new Nissan car several years ago. It was at the left upper corner of the driver side door, just to the left of my head.

It took a while to figure it out, but it was just the rubber seal/moulding making noise against the painted surface of the window frame.

I wiped the mouldings with some slippery vehicle vinyl/rubber trim cleaner/preservative and the noise was gone.

I also had the A pillar/dash tick on my Tacoma and fixed it by trimming the edge of the speaker grill with a razor knife and then also padded the parts with some thin foam rubber.

 

Thanks. I have both problems as well. Can you take and post a picture of the speaker grill. Also, what type of stuff did you use for the rubber trim cleaner? Thanks!!
