E30 Cabby Windows rattle when up

[Bela]

Hi Guys,

when driving around in theres quite a bit of rattling when going over pot holes etc whilst the windows are wound up but no noise when they are all the way down.

Anyone have any idea on what parts I may need to get these nice and tight again to prevent the rattling?

Much appreciated

Mine front ones do this when i`ve got the top down,but i think it looks s**t with the windows up any way.

It`s more than likely to be the plastic guides on the rails are worn.

Mine do the same. Just wind them down an inch and it will stop.

Hi thanks for the feedback,

It rattles until all the way down : (

Bimanut, any idea on what the part number would be for the plastic guides?

Thanks

could be that the window needs adjusting to p it at a tighter angle against the runner

I have had success by adjusting the vertical angle of the rear windows (the centre torx nut at the bottom of the window glass). By adjusting the rear windows so that the top edge points away from the interior of the car by less than 1cm, when all the windows are up the front windows are gently levering the rears back towards the inside of the car, preventing rattling.

The only downside is that if you ever put the roof up when only the rear windows are up, they might need a slight push to sit in the rubber guides.

I can draw a picture if anyone needs me to, or you can look on the wiki at adjusting rear cab windows.
