Window Rattle

Post by nikhan »

Ok i've just replace my window guides at the front whilst following the DIY guide. But the damn rattle is still there and the sound is coming from the rear end of the window. Popped it open to have a look at it again and found sonething like a rear window guide at the back. Now went to mitsu and ask there were charging bout 200 plus (for christ sake) for each of the guide. Anyone knows the quick fix for it because the DIY mentioned only the front and not the back ones....

    I popped open the door again to have a look. Well i cant really take pictures of it but there is a metal bar like thingy at the back and the frame is blocking me from taking the pictures. I don't know if that mitsu guy was trying to rip me off for something I didnt need. He said that he was pretty sure that there is a back window guide.

    But anyway, I tried black taping every lose thing and tighten all the screws. Hopefully later when I take it out for a drive the sound might go away. If it doesn't I'll have to pop it open and have a look again. One more thing, there was a loose white colour wire which was part of the bunch of wires for the central locking motor. I cant seem to find anything that it connects to? Any idea what it is?? Central locking seems fine anyway so I black taped it up and left it alone. Will take the car out later for a drive and keep you guys updated.

    Hahaha sorry mate. Been so busy with my new job that I forgotten all abt it. Well the main culprit was a loose wire tip that was together with the bunch of wires from the central locking motor. Blacked taped it up and wallah!! No more noise:)
