Question Window rattle when down..?

This probably should be tech, but could do with some quick suggestions.

05 WRX, passenger front window rattles/knocks when down. doesn't matter if it's down 1cm or all the way. I know it's probably something very simple and I'm thinking of taking it the a dealer under warranty, but before they pull the door to pieces only to tell me nothings wrong , I wondered if anyone has any ideas..?

Cheers, Jason

I have this on mine, the windows just dont seem to fit very well

There are adjustment pads covered in foam behind the door cards which press against the window to, supposedly, keep it firm in the runners.
I adjusted mine but they still rattle, Scoobs for you I guess

Maybe worth a try on yours though

I had this on mine - eventually the window actually dropped!!

Take the card off and tighten up the window mechanism bolts - or, as in mine, replace them if dropped out!

No, it's a Classic, but I bet the fix is just the same!

Pete, were you able to 'wiggle' the glass/window (before it fell out..)
