Window rattle when closing doors? Fix?

Okay, this has bugged me... when shutting the door the window makes a noticeable rattle which makes the Porsche seem like a worn out Yugo. mad.gif

I had this issue on both driver and passenger doors on my 1999 996 and now with my 2001. I checked the regulators and the window seems to be firmly in place. The issue seems to be that the seals at the top of the door where the window goes in have too large a gap so when the door is closed the window bangs around. It does not seem to do much just driving, it is most noticeable when closing the door.

Has anyone found a fix to this? The weather stripping for the door is not cheap at $250+ per piece so I am hoping there is another adjustment or part that can fix this. eek.gif

That is what I was afraid of Loren... thanks for the input.

When looking at the current set it seems the rubber tab for holding the window steady is only on the outer door seal at the top. Does your parts catalog show this to be true?

Thanks, David

Sorry if I'm hijacking your thread:

My passenger door window doesn't rattle when the window is up, but it rattles significantly when the window is down. Same issue? Different issue?

If it rattles when it is down then it is either out of the track (even partially) or you have a bad window regulator.

Either way you need to open the door to find out.

Thanks, I'll pop the skin off and take a look.
