The window switch? Are your guys' switches loose? I've never heard of this, mine are super tight.

I've got some notes in this post regarding how to fix the switches. Requires popping the door card off.

Bringing this thread back from the dead to let you guys know...in case some of you still care...that I fixed the problem.

I removed the switch modules from the door cards and wrapped the switch and its mount several times in electrical tape, and then proceeded to add thin foam weather stripping in between the plastic parts where it sits in the door card, and even went ahead and removed the speaker/knee pad and pit foam in between it and the door card as well. The vibes in the door are gone now! I will get to posting pictures...when I feel like fixing the handle/lock later.

These are all the locations where I taped, and applied the foam strips.

The foam was purchased at home depot for $2.XX

I've had m BRZ for a little over 8 months now and I have no idea how anyone could hear a rattle in this car. The insulation from road noise is so non-existent that at anything over 10mph how can you hear anything?

Is the rattle really that loud?

It's not really a rattle, more like when you're listening to music and you hear the speakers and windows vibrating.

It's more of a buzzing noise from the window switch that's caused by the speaker. My dealer did some kind of insulation that fixed the issue.
