Rattling rear sliding window
Any ideas on how to stop the sliding rear window from rattling?
easiest way is to get mole grips & pinch the runners slightly together. this holds the glass better & takes the slack out.
swap them for my rear non sliding windows. :wink:
What a generous offer!! LOL.
They defo won't rattle!!
doe the molegrips work well, fter reding this my ones have started to rattle!

after you....no no after you.... no i insist after you:-)
well im going to attack it tomorrow (i would say morning but that would be a lie) as for today its back to the books for more bloody exam revision!
without my sarcastic whit this time Tom. use the molegrips that nip square jawed and use maybe a piece of leather between the jaws so as to not damage the runners
thankyou for the information. happy new year
feeling defeated, just attempted it, but instead of molegrips decided to use trigger clamps (big rubber pads seemed a damage free option) but i just cant pinch the buggers together nd closer, shall i just go for the molegrips and be extra careful?

Wind some insulation tape around the jaws and place a piece of plywood same thickness as window glass in the runner. Then squeeeeeze...
Good Luck!!!
done and dusted. has worked like a treat, no more rattling at all. reccomend as it makes driving so peaceful!

Stupid as it may sound, but what on earth is a mole grip? Remember I'm from SA, things are still developing there, the only grip I know is a vise grip, and don’t trust those yet.
Yep, LEEU
Vise grip =mole wrench, mind you for years i thought water pump pliers were called "german nippers" as the pair my father had had for years had come with the german ( fahr ) combine, and he thus christened them.

I must try this, it gets pretty annoying in town traffic! If I break something I might take you up on that offer stevieboy...
