Rattle with windows up hitting roof

Post by taranfx » Thu Sep 06, 2018 10:30 pm

At slow speeds (upto 50mph) with roof and windows up, I hear a rattle from back of the left ear. I looked everywhere and concluded it goes away when windows are lowered a little. So I believe this rattle is caused by windows pushing against the roof? I checked the rubber sealing, Gummy pfleged it and still no change. I also added some foam and felt in the area and didnt help much.
Do I need to realign/recalibrate windows?
Anyone faced this? Any ideas for how to fix it?

I have the same problem. Did you get to the bottom of it?

Maybe it's just Wyndyn Yarhayr, the Norse god of roadsters, showing his displeasure at the roof being up? :D
