Anyone having issues with their window regulators being loose// noisy? Bringing mine in tomorrow for warranty, as when i shut my door, there is something heavily loose in there, as well as the window having too much play.

Thanks!

I got the same problem. Mine usually acts up with music. Sounds like rattling. Only when the window is up though, I dont know why, maybe something loose? If i crank it open, even just a tiny bit it pretty much goes away. Might have to take it in too for a check. Let me know how it goes.

TSB - 09-10-30M - rattle from front window glass. ( something to that description )

?

It sounds very similar to this for me. Like was said in a post in that thread, barely 1/4 of an inch and it stops. Any more and it goes on.
When I hear it again ill try to play around with the audio and see what comes of it. But it seems to be the same problem.

I'll mention the TSB, but mine being a 2011, this should not be an issue. Either way, ill follow up. As for the link posted above, i did check that thread, its similar, but not 100% the same. Being a DIY mechanic, and an experienced Parts counter employee, i think its physically a defect in the manufacturing of the rails for the window regulator. But either way, i'll post back with my report.

Pennies + a loose bolt.... i lol'd a bit, and the service guy had a really good chuckle.
