Window rattles back and forth


Recommended Posts

After getting my driver side window regulator replaced on my 2002 C2 cab, I've noticed that the window rattles back and forth inside the door shell causing yet another rattling noise in my car. This back and forth play doesn't exist in my passenger side window, which makes me think it has to do with how the window was reinstalled.

So far, I've tried making vertical adjustments using the adjustment screws, tightening the brackets that hold the windows in, and tightening all the bolts to the regulator. It almost looks like there should be an additional guide rail that the window should be sitting on that's missing. However, I've checked the parts catalogue and saw that no such thing exists for the 996.

Does anyone have any further guidance on this for me?

Thanks

they're not felt, but the rubber pads in the brackets are correctly installed.

I just poked around other threads, but I didn't find anything on adjusting the cables on the window regulator. So, how do you adjust the cables? is there an adjustment screw that tightens the cables? I didn't know the bowden cables on the window regulator assembly needed adjustments!

yup. I'm pretty good at removing the door panel now, as I can take one off in less than 3 minutes. In regards to that second article, I read it previously to see if a part of the latch cable was hitting the window. So yes, I've studied both. :)

Any more clues?
