Default small rattle from driver's window when partially opened

Has anyone ever had this on their teg?
It appears when you partially open your window.
Everytime you go over a small bump or uneven surface you can hear it rattle..
And it seems like it comes from the PIN GIUDE SYSTEM on the window.
I noticed even when the window is partial opened and i just bang at it from the outside of the glass, it gives out that rattle again..
ANYONE care to tell me what it is or how-to fix it??

If you take off the door panel to expose the window there will be a cople of screws that are responsible for keeping the window tight on the track. I think that over time the screws become loose and you have to tighten them back up.......

Im not impressed with the quality of the Integras body and interior parts, they all seem real thin and cheap. Engine and suspension quality is great though

My driver's side does the same. Mainly after I had it replaced though. I think it is an inherent problem with Integras. Try not to worry about it.

My driver side door does vibrate sometimes when the bass from the speakers are loud. I have stock stereo and speakers..so

Someone said once that when you take off the door pannel, there is a black rubber thingy that's supposed to be guiding the window as it comes down. The rattle stopped once they tightened the rubber guide.

I just remember reading it somewhere in this forum.

As far as the window rattle goes-If you take off the inner door panel and peel back the plastic that seals off the door, you will find a rubber strip laying in the bottom of the door. Simply glue it back into place on the rear window track and you will be set. This is how I fixed this problem and as I heard this trick from other board members, other people have had the same luck.

While I am at it I may as well also note on the problem that our cars seem to have with the glove box not shutting all the way, and the light inside turning on sporadically, or even all the time. For this just take a small phillips head screwdriver and tighten down the latch/handle thing from inside the glove box. This worked for me. HTH.
