Default Driver's side window rattles when door is shut. Fix?

When the window is rolled all the way down and you shut the door you can hear the window rattle hard against the door or something inside. I've been told a lot of Tegs do this and I have heard other Integras with the same problem.

But my passeneger side door doesnt do it at all! Could my window by off track a tad bit? Or anything else I might be over looking? It just started happening so it obviously wasnt always like that.

Mine does it too. Are you sure that the passenger side doesn't do it? It probably has to do with the "guide" not doing its job when the window is rolled all the way down.

Poitive the pass side doesnt do it. Me, Chris, Brandon and Drew just spent 15 minutes opening and closing both doors. Passenger side is 100% ok no matter if the window is up or down.

Drivers side rattles when the window is rolled just a little bit down, half way down, or all the way down.

Mines did that too before. What I did was remove the door panel (look here if you need instructions : http://www.team-integra.net/sections...?ArticleID=107) and the plastic looking wrap underneath. The wrap can be remove by pull it from where the wrap is attached to the metal by this gum like substance. After pulling away the wrap you will see the working of the power window. Look at the side where the window slides up and down this metal guide. Theres also a black plastic insert in the guild that prevents the window from moving too much in the guide. I'm willing to bet that the black plastic insert has slide off toward the bottom. All you need to do is slide it back up and maybe place a little glue on the back to prevent this from happening again in the future. Goodluck
P.s. I just notice that you guys are talking about the type R. So I can't be 100% postive that the window guide in my GSR is the same of your R, but I'm guessing it should be.

thanks LostGsr!

my driver's door has been doing the same chit since day 1. Just been lazy to bring it in Also the driver's window sticks like ~1" from the top. This happens 100% of the time on cold days and ~25% on warmer days. I guess when the rubber weather stripping is cold, it gets stiff and the power window can't overcome the resistance *shrugs*

yshi - who nEEds to get few things 'warrantied' before the chit expires
