Window button rattle?
 
Anyone have this? It's driving me mad, so I have put in temporary rubber to stop it from moving and rattling but wondered if anyone has a proper fix?

Thanks

I have heard of wrapping the bottom of the button unit in sound insulating material. Ive been meaning to take the door apart and try it, but my car has been in the body shop for a while.

Thinking of taking off the door as well!

The window button rattle annoys me to no end. I stick ripped name cards in there, but it just looks fugly.

Someplace on here there is a very simple fix for this. I will try to find it since I believe the title is of no assistance in a search.

Rattles all the time, along with the manual door lock. I just karate chop them and they seem to stop for a few days.

I stopped the rattle for the window switch but developed the door lock rattle after. Have not torn the door off for the second time to fix that.

Yeaup, pretty much. You can either rip the door off and insulate the switches or you can jam something down between the window switch and the door. I think the original quick fix that popped up a couple years ago, was putting a rolled up piece of duct tape next to the switch to act as a buffer.

Good to kmow I have some rubber wedged in there was just wondering if I should take the door off and sort it properly will see how things go

The windows on these cars just seem to be cursed.

I have the window button rattle, the drivers pass window control where the auto function only works 70% of the time, and the pinched window seal (which i fixed by putting a piece of scotch tape on the part of the seal that was getting pinched by the window lol)

The fix is to tape the window switch together with sound deadening material. You must remove door card. I had done this to my car and it makes world's difference.

This is my go to method of getting rid of rattles in any situation. It generally works pretty good.
