Car Forum / BMW Cars / May 20072003 325ci, passenger side window rattles when down
I had both of my windows down on my '03 325ci today. I close the passenger side door in a normal fashion (not excessively) and I hear the rattle of the window down in the door frame. I do the same thing to my driver side and dont hear the rattle. loose window on the passenger side? how does one remedy this? Window, when rolled up, shuts fine when closing the door, just that it rattles down in the door frame whenever the door is shut. >I had both of my windows down on my '03 325ci today.

Sounds like the window runner inside the door might need adjusting. Mike. >>I had both of my windows down on my '03 325ci today.

He had issues as long as he had the car, he even had the windows blow up/out at speed but all those sods could only get 4/5 of the different settings OK BMW reliability? haha >>>I had both of my windows down on my '03 325ci today.

Worn out on an 03 ? Mike. >>>>I had both of my windows down on my '03 325ci today.

If it has come out of it guide and has been rubbed by the window glass it is possible that wear damage has occurred. I didn't think it had actually "worn out" in fact they don't >I had both of my windows down on my '03 325ci today.

You take off the inside trim panel, and then you check for reasons why the window rattles. Jim > You take off the inside trim panel, and then you check for reasons > why the window rattles. > > Jim You make it sound simple but as I said most (actually all) BMW dealers in Hants could't sort thr issue out - don't forget they change angles as they move up and are frameless >> You take off the inside trim panel, and then you check for reasons >> why the window rattles. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >Hants could't sort thr issue out - don't forget they change angles as they >move up and are frameless Then I suggest that you do pull the door panel on both and look at the good one operate then go to the duff one and see what is different. Elementary my dear Watson! Remove the possible and what we are left with is the impossible or is that the other way around - Doh! BTW they don't really change angle it just looks that way. >> You take off the inside trim panel, and then you check for reasons >> why the window rattles.

Besides, to fix the problem will require removing the door panel. Jim >>>You take off the inside trim panel, and then you check for reasons >>>why the window rattles.

And in addition, while the panel is off and you see the problem you can fix it all at the same time. Talk about a windfall...  Signature-Fred W |
