Cabriolet Window Rattle

[oskibear]

When closing the doors on my Cabriolet there is a slight window rattle... not much, but enough to make me think that someone in quality control had an extra pint at lunch... I would expect a nice simple tuetonic thunk. Instead it sounds more like my 65 mustang...

Clearly a big issue is the fact that it is a cab, but there must be some kind of adjustment or window gasket that is worn... any suggestions from the collective?

Cheers,

Oski

If you're getting the rattle when the window is down raising it slightly will eliminate the rattle. My 997 cab does it as did my Boxster and I believe it's a function of the window down position being too low which causes the window to not rest in the frame properly. Raising a little, just above the window molding a tad, tightens up the window in the frame and eliminates the rattle. Not an official fix but effective.

Not sure what year your car is, but on my '06 Cab. the windows go down a bit while opening the door, then back up and sealed when closed. Try to reset your up/down switches for the front windows.
