What is that rattling noise near the front passenger side window? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

tzhu07 · 10-31-2013, 12:25 AM

What I noticed is that when I have the passenger window rolled up (or 80%+ rolled up), the rattling occurs.

But when the window is all the way down, it stops.

My car is only about a month old. Any ideas?

Both of my windows do it and I don't know what it is.

You might try applying some silicone spray in the window channels and on the weatherstriping. It just may make it better if the glass is kinda sticking/binding in the channel.

Heck, if it don't work....it won't do any harm....

Take it back to the dealer and have it fixed.

Yep.

I keep hearing rattling coming from the passanger window, and it keeps pissing me off.

I mentioned it to the dealer and they said they had no idea what was causing it.

I'm guessing that with the window partially down, as it's frameless, the window will tend to move around a bit if the car's going over bumps. I'd suggest the same thing that humfrz recommended. I used to get these noises in one of my past cars whenever I drove over bumps (chassis flexed a bit) and wiped all of the seals with a slight grease and the noise stopped.

I have some silicon spray laying around, so I'll give it a shot.
