Re: Final How To On Rattle Fix
Quote:
I followed the steps here and in the link provided. Squeezed together the U shaped bracked and put everything back together. Absolutely NO help at all. The window rattles around when you shut the door and while driving down the road. The window either has to be totally up or totally down to stop the rattle. It feels as if the drivers window is just really really loose. I looked at everything while the door panel was off and nothing seems to be missing or coming off any of the railings. Is there suppose to be something in the back side of the door, near the door handle, that holds the window? That is where it seems to be loose and "rattlie". |

Re: Rattling Window
regretfully, i can't agree better. with what we've done to our eclipse, we have fixed the pass side completely.
the driver side still rattles, just much less. before it was loud banging noise, now it's much more muffled. the only thing i can blame it on is either worn or bent felt window pad, one that runs along the upper door edge. there's sizeable gap between it and window itself. honestly, i am almost positive there's not much you can do about it. think this way: this door, probabaly because it shares body with spider version, has no upper window guides/frame. so, window is suspended much so only at the 2 bottom points, while being very wide and sizeable piece of glass. mechanically speaking, it is very hard to keep something like this steady all the time. to me, it is another example of a flawed design or one that keeps repair shops/dealerships happy for yrs to come. planned obsolence, ya know.

Re: Rattling Window
ok, i have just done the repair discribed in my previous post.
of course, there's rtick to everything 1. i have no idea why i had to undo all the nuts mentioned, it adjusts just fine without doing so. 2. the hex screws to be adjusted work the opposite way - they tighten the support pads when turned counter-clockwise. what happens, the brackets start coming out of the nuts, against the window. nuts self-tighten while doing so, so i had to hold them with a tip of my finger. then i have figured that the easiest way to adjust it is to loosen nut a turn - turn hex screw a turn. it all locks by itself, but less messing with it, just loosen - turn, loosen - turn. absolutely check how window slides up and down in the guides. it's very easy to overtighten, and possibly burn the motor later. oh, and picture tells to adjust the hex screws in the front only but, actually, there's another set of those towards the rear of the door, it will rattle if not adjusted. |

Re: Rattling Window
well, i guess, every brag ends in failure, at least - in my life.
i had to back up all adjustments done to stop that rattle. what it ended up with was a gap between the rearmost edge of the glass and pillar B weatherstrip. pretty much, to get it back to tight condition, i had to let that window rattle again. IMHO, it's dumm design and is not fixable after some point. the only way i can see it fixed realistically is to have the outside glass weather seal replaced with a new one, more elastic and pushing window inward. total disappointment. i had none of that trouble on our 94 model. this one appears to be designed with some perverted intention to put everything into wrong places and as hard to correct as possible. they must have some sadists in design team. |
