Mine rattle as well but you can adjust the window mechanisms in the doors and rear quarters if you take the door cards off

there are adjusters in the door but it a fiddley job plus most of it is due to the scuttle shake in a convertible poofs only have the window up in convertibles

If you drop the windows about an inch it usually stops the rattling....

Long hair is something I dont have a problem with.....no radio in it yet either.Just have to put up with it for now.I will try the window down an inch or so see if it makes a difference.

I've never noticed :?

Probably because i normally always have the windows down or the system is on too loud :P
