Good luck finding where the rattle is coming from  :laugh: :grin:

If you wanted to you could put some fabric insulation in the door cars which may help?

Get them changed if its the plastic ones, there is nothing worse than having to keep your window in place with tape.

At least changing them before they break reduces the chance of a smashed window from dropping, yes it doesn't always happen but sods law and all that, i am going to check and if needed change my drivers one if nesscessary after my passenger one dropped.
