Windows rattle/bounce when closing doors

2Tone06 · November 16th, 2008, 03:07 PM

I have an 08 GT with 800 miles. When I close the doors the windows rattle or bounce. It sounds terrible. If I close the door while pushing on the top back corner of the window it sounds fine. The up/down function is working normally.

I have looked at other Mustangs but they are all solid. The dealer adjusted the striker plates but no luck. They are calling an engineer and getting back to me next week.

Has anyone heard of this or know how to fix it.

Does it go up that little bit when you shut the door?

Not covered by warranty? It should be. Bumper to Bumper.

Yes. It goes down a little when I open the door and back up when I close it.

I hope someone has an answer for this. The car sounds cheep when the door closes. It is fine otherwise. Is the window track adjustable?

Maybe the door panel is loose and it makes it look like the window?

My 06 did this. I finally took the door panel off (about 20 screws). There is a bracket at the bottom of the glass. The screw was laying in the bottom of the door panel. Every time you would close the door, the window would rattle along with the bracket and screw. I put some locktite on the screw before I put it back in.
