BRZ passenger window clicking when rolled up all the way
 

Hello all,

I’m not sure when this started but my 2016 BRZ passenger side window clicks when it’s rolled up all the way (see linked video). It happens when rolling the window up with the buttons or when the window goes up slightly after closing the door. The window seems to be working fine but I’d like to get to the bottom of the sound. I believe it’s probably the motor or actuator but I’m not sure if this is a quick fix or something that would require replacing.

Thank you in advance!

Well, it's supposed to sort of click - once.

Maybe the window is sticking and triggering the switch. You might try cleaning the window glass on the inside and outside. If that don't help try cleaning the window channels.

:iono:

Not only normal, but perfect. When mine was new, I spent hours aligning the window mechanisms - both doors.

If something was amiss, you would hear two clicks as the window unevenly reached one hard-stop before the other (front-rear)

Different than the two clicks in the video? The driver side doesn’t make any clicking when it rolls up, just the sound of it returning to full height. The passenger side, shown in the video, makes a series of clicks when returned to the max position.

Would you mind sharing any documentation on the alignment process you mentioned?

On the one that doesn't click, with the door open, depress the switch in the sill to get the window up as it would when closed. Notice the click? Maybe it doesn't click because the hard stops are allowing the window to jam hard into the rubber. I'm guessing here.

service manuals linked in my sig. It's a mind-blowing puzzle of asymmetry where all adjustments affect each other in counterintuitive ways. There's no substitute for cracking it open. By carefully with a razor gently tugging and slicing, the vapor barrier can be peeled away and reused.

Pro tips: First make one adjustment at a time and test. Know exactly how to back out each change before making another. This especially holds when later chaining adjustments to a target.

Check the freedom of the glass midway. Make sure the adjustment doesn't cause the glass to rub hard into those felt wipers.

Hi ya amaurya - :)

Over my 80 years of messing with automobiles, I found out that sometimes stuff just ain't worth worrying about. The passenger side window clicking when it closes, would be one of those things - ;)
