door rattle

[samus21]

So Ive been trying to fix my window rattle and have realized its the door not the window that is ratteling the window is snug on the track. my door on the other hand is loose the inside half of the frame. I didnt see any bolts to tighten it down does anyone know how to fix this?

Any pics?, so we know what you are talking about.

Are you talking about the mechanism that operates moving your windows? Those can loosen up over time, just peel back the plastic covering and there should be 10 or 12mm bolts, cant remember, just make sure they are all tight.

He already said that he doesn't think it's the window, rather the door itself.

OP I'm miguelmcv on getting a pic up. From what I think you are referring to, the part of the door that the speakers bolt to, that shouldn't be rattling at all. I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that is either spot welded to the outer shell of the door, or just made as part of it.

Well even if the mechanism I am talking about comes loose, the window can still seem solid and stable. I've had this happen to me before, my windows worked great and I just heard annoying rattles in my door, I looked and that was it.
Not saying thats what it is, I am just saying I would check that before getting into anything to big.

Check around this area for any missing or loose bolts.

Sorry I didn't mean for that to come off as a dig haha, I promise I'm not that big of an asshole.

So I took a closer look at my door last night because I had more time. What I think has happened is the window track has warped and it does not press againt the felt pads or c braces so I had to move the felt pads out futher but even when the window is down iit still sounds like crap. I am hoping when i replace the window and track when I get power windows and locks the issue is fixed.
