Pillarless Windows Clunks Rattles Ect...

[kidafa]

Just about every stag I've had something to do with's windows clunk around at some point. Weather its shutting doors with them down or if the door is shut and their halfway down you can rattle them around abit. Dono about others but it shits me to tears.

Has anyone got a fix for this or know what needs re-adjusting? I've pulled door skins but nothing has jumped out at me at to what it could be.

All my windows/doors are fine except the front passenger window. Clunks when you close the door. I've pulled it apart twice chasing this mystery 'clunk' and cannot find it. I've just learnt to live with it.

[kidafa]

To what extent did you pull it apart? Surely if you were to pull the window and arms it would stand out like dogs nuts...

Im clearly living with it atm but would be nice to get a fix sorted for everyone

I think anything with frameless windows will be the same, Chris. Subarus have the same problem, from what I've seen...

Build quality of the configuration of my Forester's pillarless windows is about the same. OK - not bad -could be better.

A couple of my windows rattle if they are a down a litle bit while driving. I think it's just part of having frameless windows, every car I have been in with windows like that has had similar things

Yeah my stag and 2 previous 180's have all had the same problem. Joy of having pillarless windows I guess. Mind you my back ones seem ok. But they rarely ever get used so thats probably why. Even my back doors seem a lot stiffer to open and shut because they also rarely get used. I would love to know how to get rid of the wind noise on the fronts without having to get weather sheilds.

wind noise on fronts without weather shields....?? eeek took mine off today! :S

its your window close height - it needs to seal up against the rubber

my outback was perfect until i knocked the drivers door and messed up the gaps, then i got wind noise from that door

All pillarless windows are adjustable, up/down - in/out - front/rear, but rollers also fail over time.

Adjust stoppers at top of door for height, adjustable bolts on vertical rails for in/out and slides in middle of door frame for front/rear.

I've replaced all 4x doors on my stagea and had to adjust so they sealed and didnt hit weather strip at top.

My drivers rear clunks whilst going up but think I left something loose! LOL

!!! Also have 4x spare regulators and windows with good rollers if needed !!!
