Default Driver window rattles on '03 4 door. Dealer says design flaw, can't fix. True or false?

I don't believe him. Any '03 owners out there with windows that don't rattle? He says they can lube it up, quiet it temporarily but there is no fix. Suggestions?

I think the dealer is shytting you too...cuhz anything can be repaired or fixed. Can u take it to another dealer, or maybe to a window tiniting place and have them check it out?

Hope everything works out okay.

Bull ****...hello lemon law. Tell them to either fix it, get you a new car or talk to your lawyer.

This only applies to cars under warranty .

I have an 03 4 door - and had the same problem - was fixed by some TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) - the dealer that you took your car to is FULL Of CRAP!!! - I would take it to another dealership or contact American Honda as indicated in your owners manual to get it resolved.....

easy. just pull the door panel. when i changed my power window motor on my car i played with how tight to make the window fit the tracks. the bolt holes are long for exactly that purpose. i've been meaning to get into the right side to tighten that one up too.
