Rattley Window

Post by craigs135s » Tue Jul 03, 2007 7:57 pm

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

Cheers

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! :D

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 :thumbsup
