Window rattling

**drummer52910** · 09-09-2007, 06:33 PM

My drivers side window on the camaro rattles when it is fully down, only when i hit a bump though. I figured as usual it was the golden colored window guides on top but both are still intact. I adjusted them so they are pressed against the window when it is down, but that did nothing. Any ideas what the problem could be??

Ya i figured it was broken felt guides as usual, but there still intact. I guess its coming from somewhere else.

**camarojunky74** · 09-10-2007, 01:46 PM

it could be loose?

**35thAnniZ28** · 09-10-2007, 03:44 PM

wait..what are felt guides?!?!? plz describe...oh and i called mr.gm..i thanked him

**camarojunky74** · 09-10-2007, 03:48 PM

lol what did he say?

also they are the bronze colored brackets behind the door panell at the top of the door, they are bolted to the fiberglass and they hold the window firm in the guides with felt, if these are broken or missing you window will rattle

no there tight, i even adjusted the back one so its up against the window when its fully down. I was sure that would have fixed it but it did nothing.

**35thAnniZ28** · 09-10-2007, 03:59 PM

i shall purchase some in the near future

**camarojunky74** · 09-10-2007, 04:10 PM

lol you can just tack weld them, as for the rattle, the bolts that bolt the register into the door may be broken , if so ,

dood your right...i noticed part of my door seperates from its "skin"

Hey guys just had similiar problem, although my window stabilzer's where bad my window could slide front to back and when rolling up it would lean towards inside of car and rattle like hell when down. My problem was there are 2 tracks, I believe, that runs up and down, when door panel is removed you can see the back side of the track through the speaker opening and between the door handle and locks in that opening, anyhow, the wheel that traveled in one of the track broke off the rivet from the arm in the tract which allowed the window to do such as I discribed. If this is the problems your having check it out with a mirrior or feel around the bottom of the track for the broken wheel if window is raised because it should still be in the track and at the bottom.

**drummer52910** · 09-16-2007, 01:21 PM

Ill have to check that out then. There has to be something wrong somewhere

**camarojunky74** · 09-17-2007, 07:52 AM

if i was having problems like this, i would take it to the dealer with parts in hand and pay for there labor, becuase techs now what there doing and even if it doesnt get done right its up to them to make it right, i would take it to a professional, thats my opinion, i have guys take weird shit to my shop all the time and vise versa,

haha thats pretty much a normal thing when you buy a camaro or trans am. i had a 93 z28 that did that but i just ignored it. my 99 ss doesnt do it yet though. but im sure one day it will.

If your talking about window door stabilizers, part # is 10257988. GM parts direct, a sponser i believe, has them for around 7 bucks plus shipping. You have 2 for each door.
