I was just curious if anyone has had any window rattle problems with their fit? I seem to always get a pretty bad rattle on both driver and passenger windows when they are down a little bit (not quite half way down) yet now I am getting a rattle on my passenger side window even when it's up!

So I just thought I would see if anyone else is having this issue

 

i was really beginning to feel lonely. i've moaned about this in multiple threads and no one else has said they had the same problem.

it happens in my driver's side window... right near my ear. yay.

in my case (and probably yours), it is not actually the window. it's happening 1/4 inch away from the window. it's the rubber weather seal on the frame of the car. the door comes into contact with it when the door is closed.

if you press your finger between the door and the rubber seal, the rattle stops (it's a very specific spot on the seal for me.. it's not the entire seal). i have stuffed pipe cleaners in and around the rubber strip. it's hollow so you can actually stuff pipe cleaners in it... that has helped a little. at first i thought it helped a lot... but no, it came back probably because of low temps. the colder it is, the more it rattles. ive also noticed on windy days, the rattle is worse.

visual inspection doesnt indicate why it rattles. it looks identical on the passenger side, but only rattles on the driver's side. i dont believe the door is vibrating more than normal and causing the weather seal to rattle.

whatever is causing it, it's extremely annoying.

 

this is advice i got from rhyneba (he works in a honda service dept)

the silicone treatment didnt help.
i have not brought it to a dealer because when i called honda, they said i'd have to leave it there for the day, which would be a royal pain... and i have no confidence they'd fix it.

Was just at the dealer for 1st oil change and asked them about my rattling windows. They said they're supposed to rattle. "If the glass couldn't flex your windows would break when you shut the doors" said the service manager. Going to try the fix on this thread...thanks.
