window rattle when it gets cold

[skipp]

I've noticed that the glass window in my car jiggles against the rubber convertible roof seal when the temperature drops below 50 degrees. It's occuring right where the top of the window meets with the rubber roof seals. It's driving my nuts. Is there an adjustment to make the window and rubber seals meet tighter so the rattle stops?

Any help appreciated.

THanks,

Coupe or Cab, front or rear windows, model year?

I think he has a cab given what he said. Your window regulator maybe old. Try some lube around the cab frame that meets the glass. I had my window regulator replaced and most of the noise stopped.

It's a 2002 Cab. I've rubbed vasoline around the rubber at the roof line. What does a window regulator do?

Thanks

I forgot to tell you, it's the drivers side main window, and the vasoline stopped it for a while, but it didn't last...any more suggestions?

I had the same problem on my Boxster. I tried everything possible including vaseline, silicon, adjusting the convertible top but to no effect. Finally I replaced the whole window frame (not the glass or the electric motor) and the noise is now totally gone. Apparently there was a slight play of the glass against the convertible top rubbers, due to some deterioration of the plastic holders in the window frame, which was more noticeable in cold weather.

Lift the glass open the door and try to very gently move the the glass up/down in/out. I am sure will notice a difference between the noisy side and the other side.

I just had a squeaking rear window on my boxster 2004 model. I found that lubing with WD40 spray the inside join between the bottom of the window and the waterproofing below and also lubing the outside section that joins the bottom of the glass to the rubber seal on the bodywork piece that raises and lowers when the roof is going up and down solved the squeak. Much better!

Try silicone spray lubrication...it works and with a few repeated applications over time, it stops the noises.
