Default window rattle

Anyone else have their windows rattle either when they're just slightly down or when you close the door when they're down?

You can't do anything about it. Its just something us Integra owner's must live with.

Its just like domestic owner's have to live with shitty cars.

my window was rattling badly, and when i closed the door, it sounded like the glass was gonna shatter... i took off the door panel, and the plastic sheet on the door, and low and behold, the left rubber track guide was just sitting at the bottom of my door! I just reworked the rubber guide back in, used some 5 min epoxy on the reverse side of it, and voila... no more rattling window.

Yes, you can get in there and tighten things up a bit and the rattling should go away. The easiest thing to do to cure this problem is just to roll the window down far enough to the point where it wont rattle. If you drive with it all the way down, there would be no window rattling problem.

Although I knew about this problem and how everone was facing it before I got my teg surprisingly I have only heard the rattling once in a great while.

My driver's side window rattled when I closed the door. Luckily, my car was still under warranty, so I had it fixed at the dealer in no time.

I had the same problem with my windows!!!!!!! I felt like I was driving a POS car when I closed my door!!!! It sounded like the window was going to brake when I shut the door. About a week ago I had enough, so I tore my door panel off, at first It looke like someone took the rubber thingy out of the lower window frame that kept the window in place!!!! then I got to looking and that rubber thing was laying in the bottom of my door!!!!! I put it back in, and guess what??? NO MORE RATTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I can drive around with my window down without getting mad at the rattle
