My drivers window rattles like mad when it is down. Anyone know how to fix this or it is an MMC job.
Cheers

mine's just started this as well.
I fixed it with the stereo as per all other noises & rattles
seriously; doubt it's a job for mmc.

My passenger one does that. I just tell the passenger not to put it all the way down. Would look at it if I could be bothered . . . I'm going to go on a rattle finding mission one of these days. Got several to find!

I though it was meant to rattle
but the rubber seal at the A pillar side of the door is hanging loose anyone know how it's supposed to be held in place ?

I got the TADTS reply from MMC with my last Elise.. though it wasnt doing it when I got the car.
This one is doing it too... and was ok when new.
Car going in tomorrow for gearbox work, so will mention again. If anyone gets a fix let me know incase of TADTS reply.

Clips. I've re-stuck mine with super dooper aerospacey glue stuff i happened to find.
Worked a treat for sticking the pass side window in again as well, and stuff.

Yours is an S1, DEL's is an S2
Mine does it too, Mac's solution is the best and cheapest one I've found

Silly me, I assume this is another S2 enhancement?

Of course. They drop out less than S1s but rattle instead
